Case 9 anatomy Flashcards
what does the gluteux maximus do?
extends and laterally rotates the hip joint
- it also works with the tensor fasciae latae to extend the knee joint through the iliotibial tract
what do the gluteus medius and minimus do?
- abduct the hip joint
- medially rotate the hip joint
- tilt the pelvis when walking to permit the opposite leg to clear the ground
where do the deep gluteal muscles insert?
- The piriformis, superior & inferior gemelli and obturator internus all insert into the upper border of the greater trochanter
- The quadrate femoris inserts into the quadrate tubercle
what is the origin of the deep gluteal muscles?
- Piriformis = anterior surface of sacrum
- Superior gemellus = ischial spine
- Inferior gemellus = ischial tuberosity
- Obturator internus = inner surface of obturator membrane
- Quadratus femoris = lateral border of the ischial tuberosity
what makes up the quadriceps femoris?
three vastus muscles and the rectus femoris
what is the origin of the rectus femoris?
anterior inferior iliac spine
where does the sartorius originate and insert?
anterior superior iliac spine to medial surface of proximal tibia
where does the vastus intermedius lie?
underneath the rectus femoris
where does the gracilis originate and insert?
ischiopubic ramus to just behind the sartorius on the tibia
which is the most superficial adductor muscle?
adductor longus
origin and insertion of adductor muscles
adductor magnus:
- Adductor part – Originates from the inferior rami of the pubis and the rami of ischium, attaching to the linea aspera of the femur.
- Hamstring part – Originates from the ischial tuberosity and attaches to the adductor tubercle and medial supracondylar line of the femur.
adductor longus:
- Originates from the pubis, and expands into a fan shape, attaching broadly to the linea aspera of the femur
adductor brevis:
- Originates from the body of pubis and inferior pubic rami. It attaches to the linea aspera on the posterior surface of the femur, proximal to the adductor longus.
what do the muscles of the posterior compartment do?
extend the hip joint and flex at knee joint
what is most superficial out of the semitendonous or semimembranous?
semitendonous
what does the gracilis do?
adducts the thigh at the hip and flexes the leg at the knee
where does the pectineus originate and insert?
superior pubic ramus to the pectineal line of femur
what does the pectineus do?
adducts and flexes the thigh
what are the boundaries of the femoral triangle?
- Superior boundary = inguinal ligament
- Medial boundary = adductor longus muscle
- Lateral boundary = sartorius muscle
what is the ring of cartilage that surrounds the acetablum called? what does it do?
acetabular labrum
- increases the size of the articular area of the acetabulum
where is the distal attachment of the capsule of the hip joint incomplete?
in the posterior region ?
what type of joint is the hip joint?
ball and socket synovial joint
