Anatomy Quiz #2 Flashcards
Which directions does the head of the femur project?
medially, superiorly, and anteriorly
Which directions does the acetabulum project?
laterally, inferiorly, and anteriorly
Which motions are available at the hip?
Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial rotation, lateral rotation
What shape is the articular surface of the acetabulum
Horseshoe-shaped
The head of the femur and the horseshoe shaped part of the acetabulum are covered with what?
Articular cartilage
What connects the head of the femur to the acetabulum?
Ligament of the head of the femur (a.k.a. ligamentum teres, round ligament, foveal ligament)
Name the fibrocartilagenous lip that attaches to the bony rim of the acetabulum and deepens the acetabulum (make the ‘socket’ a deeper socket)
Acetabular labrum
What lies in the centre of the acetabulum, and is occupied by a fat pad covered with synovium.
Acetabular fossa
What lies between the two ends of the horseshoe of the acetabulum to allow passage for blood vessels?
Acetabular notch
What connects (closes) the acetabular notch?
Transverse ligament of the acetabulum
Extension/hyperextension tightens the capsular ligaments of the hip, making extension part of the __________________ and a position of stability in an upright posture
Close-packed position
Which ligament attaches at AIIS, acetabular rim ⬄ intertrochanteric line of the femur, and checks extension, abduction, lateral rotation?
Iliofemoral ligament (Y ligament)
Which ligament attaches at superior pubic ramus ⬄ iliofemoral ligament, and checks abduction?
Pubofemoral ligament
Which ligament attaches attaches at the ischial part of the acetabular rim ⬄ femoral neck and medial greater trochanter, and checks hyperextension?
Ischiofemoral ligament
Where is the trochanteric bursa?
between the gluteus maximus muscle and the (postero-lateral) greater trochanter.
Where is the ischiogluteal bursa?
overlying the ischial tuberosity
Weaver’s bottom (people weaving would have to extend one leg forward then the other) is a layman’s term for this condition
Ischiogluteal Bursitis
Where is the iliopectineal bursa?
Between the iliopsoas muscle and the iliopubic eminence.
What part of the femur has both a superficial and deep bursa?
The greater trochanter
What is between the inferior and superior pubic ligaments?
The pubic symphysis
What types of joint is the SI joint?
Synovial (very strong— high stability, low mobility)
Which ligaments, besides the pubic symphysis, progressively relax during pregnancy to allow passage of the fetus through the birth canal?
The vertebropelvic ligaments
Which ligament attaches from L4 & L5 to the posterior iliac crest, is a key stabilizer of L5, and limits/checks/restricts lateral flexion?
The iliolumbar ligament
Which ligament attaches from the posterior surface of the sacrum/coccyx to the ischial tuberosity, stabilizes the SI joint and provides a surface attachment for gluteus maximus?
The sacrotuberous ligament
Which ligament attaches from the lateral sacrum/coccyx to the ischial spine and converts the greater sciatic notch into the greater sciatic foramen?
The sacrospinous ligament.
___________ connect muscle to bone.
Tendons
The connection between a muscle and a tendon is called the_________ junction
Musculotendinous junction (MTJ)
The connection between a tendon and a bone is called the _______________ junction
Tendoperiosteal (TPJ)
The __________ is the central portion of the muscle (the meat of it)
Belly
The __________ is one of at least 2 extensions of a particular muscle belly that attaches via its own tendon
Head
A sheet-like tendon is called a(n) ____________
Aponeurosis
What type of muscle contraction pulls the attachments closer together?
Concentric contraction
When a muscle contracts against a resistance and there is no visible change in the muscle length (its attachments are NOT drawn together or pulled apart), it is called a(n)
Isometric conraction
When a muscle is generating force but is unable to overcome the force, the muscle will undergo a lengthening or _________ __________
Eccentric contraction
When a muscle contracts, the attachment that is fixed is sometimes called the ________
Origin
