Gluteal region and posterior thigh Flashcards
What covers the gluteus medius
gluteal aponeurosis
The gluteus medius completely covers the
gluteus minimus
The muscles superior and inferior to the obturator internus muscle are the
superior and inferior gemelli
The body of this muscle is seen deep in the posterior thigh and its tendon runs between the gemelli muscles
obturator internus
Inferior to the inferior gemellus is the ___ muscle
quadratus femoris
The nerve to obturator internus innervates the ___ and ___
obterator internus and superior gemellus
The nerve to quadratus femoris innervates the __ and ___
inferior gemellus and quadratus femoris
The hamstrings consists of ____ m, ____ m, and ____ m
semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and long head of biceps femoris
The greater sciatic notch and sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments make up the
greater sciatic foramen
The lesser sciatic notch and sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments make up the
lesser sciatic foramen
Things exiting the pelvis and entering the gluteal foramen run through the
greater sciatic foramen
Things exiting the pelvis and entering into the gluteal foramen OR that enter back into the pelvis after exiting the greater foramen go through the
lesser sciatic foramen
The piriformis muscle exits the pelvis via the
greater sciatic foramen
The sciatic nerve, posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh, superior and inferior gluteal nerves, nerve to quadratus femoris, nerve to obturator internus, and pudendal nerve exit the pelvis via the
greater sciatic foramen
The superior and inferior gluteal arteries and veins and the internal pudendal artery and vein exit the pelvis via the
greater sciatic foramen
The obturator internus muscle exits the pelvis via the
lesser sciatic foramen
The 4 structures that enter the perineum through the lesser sciatic foramen
nerve to obturator internus, pudendal nerve, and internal pudendal artery and vein
The gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fascia latae are innervated by the
Superior gluteal nerve (L5-S1)
The gluteus maximus is innervated by the
Inferior gluteal nerve (L5-S2)
