Bone, ligaments and jointsj of lower limb Flashcards
Four division of lower limb
- gluteal region
- thigh
- leg
- foot
In general, what are the muscles of gluteal region?
- extensors
- rotators
- abductors of the hip joint
Part of lower limb where it is between the knee and ankle joint
Leg
Part of lower limb where it is posterolateral and between the iliac crest and gluteal fold that defines the lower limit of the buttocks
Gluteal region
These muscles control the movement of the pelvis relative to the lower limb bearing the body’s weight (weightbearing or stance limb) while the other limb swings forward (swing limb) during walking.
Muscles of gluteal region
Give the bones of the lower limb
- pelvic bones
- femur
- patella
- tibia
- fibula
- tarsals
- metatarsals
- phalanges
Give the 3 coxal bones
- ilium
- ishium
- pubis
Large ball and socket joint between pelvic bon and femur
Hip joint
Deep hemispherical socket on lateral pelvic surface
Acetabulum
Large flaring bone that forms the superior region of coxal bone
Ilium
Give the two surfaces of ilium
- gluteal surface
- auricular surface
Articulates with the head of femur to form the hip joint
Acetabulum
Give the major markings of ilium
- tubercle of iliac crest
- A, P & I gluteal lines
- A, P & S iliac spine
- A, P & I Iliac spine
- iliac creat
- greater sciatic notch
- iliac fossa
- arcuate line
- pelvic brim
Forms the posterior-inferior part of the hip bone
Ischium
Part of ishium that articulates with the ilum
Body
Part of ischium that articulates with the pubis
Thinner ramus
Give the major marking of ischium
- ishial spine
- lesser sciatic notch
- ischial tuberosity
Strongest part of hip bone
Ischial tuberosity
Forma the anterior portion of the hip bone
Pubis
A fibrocartilage at the midline of two pubic bones
Pubic sympphysis
Part of pelvic bone that lies horizontally in anatomical position
Pubis
The bone that articulates with ilium and ischium
Pubis
Major markings of pubis
- superior and inferior rami
- pubic crest
- pubic tubercle
- pubic arch
- pubic symphysis
- obturator foramen
Region of pelvis bounded by alae of the iliac bones
False pelvis
Bony pelvis that is inferior to the pelvic brim which defines birth canal
True pelvis
Angle of pubic arch in male
50-60
Angle of female pubic arch
80-90
Male of female:
- Coccyx more movable and straighter
- sacral promontory curvature accentuated
- small and farther apart acetabula
- lighter, thinner and smoother bone
Female
It is the sole of the thigh
Femure
Largest and strongest bone of the body
Femure
Give the articulates of femus
- proximally: acetabulum forming the hip joint
- distally: tibia and patella forming the knee joint
Major markings of femur proximally
- head
- fovea capitis
- greater & lesser trochanter
- gluteal tuberosity
- intertrochanteric line
Contribute to the stability of muscle tendons
Hip joint
Give the structures that chiefly stabilize the hip
- shape of acetabulum
- acetabulum labrum
- ligamentum teres
