EXAM 3: Lower Limb Flashcards
Pelvic Girdle Function
- Supports organs in pelvis
- Connects axial and appendicular skeleton
Pelvic Girdle Bones
Os Coxae (Hip bone)
1. Illium
2. Ishium
3. Pubis/Pubis bone
Sacrum
Acetabulum
- Point of Fusion
- Where head of femur connects
- On Os coxae bone
Ilium
- Part of Pelvic Girdle
- Has Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS)
- Where aorta splits
Ischium
- Part of the Pelvic Girdle
- Has Ischial Tuberosity (sit spine)
- Most inferior
Movements of the Hip
- Circumduction
- Adduction
- Abduction
- Hyperextend
- Extend
Flex
Ligaments in the hip joint
- Iliofemoral
- Ischiofemoral
- Pubofemoral
What does the Iliofemoral ligament connect and its location?
Ilium to femur
anterior and superior
What does the Ischiofemoral ligament connect and its location?
Ischium to femur
Posterior
What does the Pubofemoral ligament connect and its location?
Pubis to femur
Anterior Inferior
The acetabulum is the what of the hip?
Glenoid Cavity
Proximal Structures of the femur
Head
Greater Trochanter
Lesser Trochanter
Gluteal Tuberosity
Distal structures of the femur
- Medial/Lateral condyles (posterior, joint forming)
- Medial/Lateral epicondyles (lig/tendon attatchment)
- Patellar Surface
Nerves of the Lower Limb
Femoral
Obturator
Sciatic
Tibial
Common Fibular
Inferior Gluteal
What part is the “leg”
between ankle and knee (Calf/shin)
Proximal Tibia Structures and functions
-Medial and Lateral Condyles (articulates with femur–> Knee Joint)
- Tibial Tuberosity (Articulates with head of fibula)
Distal Tibia Structures and function
- Medial Malleolus (Articulates with fibula and talus)
Where is the weight when standing?
On tibia and then into the ankle
Does the fibula articulate with the femur?
Nope!
Proximal Fibular Structures and functions
Head of Fibula (articulates with tibia)
