gluteal region Flashcards
what is different in terms of timing when it comes to lower and upper limb development
lower limb develops a week after upper (4th and 5th week)
where do you begin to see the lower limb buds? upper limb buds? what is located on the superior aspect of these buds?
lower limb- L2-S2
upper- C5-T1
big toes and the thumbs
what occurs to the upper and lower limbs in the 7th week of gestation?
- upper limb rotates laterally around its axis
- lower rotates medially- continues even post birth-explains why baby feet meet sole to sole
what accounts for the barber-pole pattern of the cutaneous innervation (dermatome pattern) of the limbs?
the rotation of the limbs in utero
where do the hip bones meet anteriorly and posteriorly
anteriorly at the pubic symphysis and posteriorly at the sacroiliac joint (meets with sacrum)
when do the ilium, ischium and pubis fuse
at the end of teen yrs
what two bones the hip bones articular with
sacrum and femur
what comprises the pelvic girdle? how does the bony pelvis differ?
- the pelvic girdle is the two hip bones together
- bony pelvis includes sacrum and coccyx
what it the largest of the three parts of the hip and describe some of its characteristics
- ilium
- ala- wing, attachment side for gluteal muscles laterally and iliacus on the medial side
what part of the acetabulum does the ilium make up?
the superior 2/5
what part of the lumbar spines does the line between the anterior superior iliac spine to the posterior superior iliac spines go thru?
L4-5
what is the attachment site for the posterior sacroiliac ligament
posterior inferior iliac spine
what comprises the posterior 2/5 of the acetabulum
the ischium
what are the two parts of the ischium
-body (consists of all the good stuff IT’s etc) and the ramus(consists of just the ramus
at the bottom of the ischium, what two things come together to fuse the pubis with the ischium
the ichial ramus and the inferior ramus of the pubis to form the ischiopubic ramus
what fraction of the acetabulum does the pubis make up?? what are the three main parts of the pubis
- 1/5
- three parts- body, superior ramus and inferior ramus
what part of the pubis fuses with the ischium and the ilium within the acetabulum
superior ramus of the pubis
what is the greater sciatic foramen formed of? what is ita a passageway for?
- made up of the
1) sacrospinous ligament- ligament that goes from sacrum to the spine of the ischium
2) sacrotuberous ligament- ligament from the sacrum to the IT
3) greater sciatic notch
what muscles traverses the greater sciatic foramen? Nerves and vessels?
- piriformis
- internal pudendal vessels and nerve
- sciatic nerve
- posterior femoral cutaneous nerve
- nerve to quadratus femoris and inferior gemellus
- nerve to the obturator internus and superior gemellus
what makes up the lesser sciatic foramen?
- formed by lesser sciatic notch and the sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments
