gluteal region & posterior thigh Flashcards
glut max. origin
- ileum: posterior to posterior gluteal line
- Sacrum and Coccyx: posterior surface
- Sacrotuberous ligament
glut max. insertion
- lateral condyle of tibia via iliotibial tract
- gluteal tuberosity of femur
glut max. action
- extension of femur
- lateral rotation of femur.
- abduction of femur (upper fibers)
- adduction of femur (lower fibers)
glut max. innervation
Inferior Gluteal Nerve
glut max. artery
superior gluteal artery
glut medius origin
Ileum: between posterior and anterior gluteal lines
glut medius: insertion
greater trochanter of femur: lateral surface
glut medius action:
- abduction of femur
- medial rotation & flexion of femur (anterior fibers)
- Lateral rotation & extension of femur (posterior fibers)
- steadies pelvis when opposite limb is raised
glut medius innervation
superior gluteal nerve
glut medius artery
superior gluteal artery
glut minimus origin
Ileum: between anterior and inferior gluteal lines
glut minimus: insertion
greater trochanter of femur: anterior surface
glut minimus action
- abduction of femur
- medial rotation of femur
- steadies pelvis when opposite limb is raised
glut minimus innervation
superior gluteal nerve
glut minimus artery
superior gluteal artery

ASIS
Iliac Crest
tensor of fasica lata insertion
lateral condyle of tibia via iliotibial tract
tensor of fasica lata action
- medial rotation of femur
- abduction of femur
- flexion at hip

superior gluteal artery
periformis origin
sacrum: anterior surface
periformis insertion
greater trochanter of femur: superior border
periformis action
- lateral rotation of femur
- abduction of femur
3.stabilize hip joint
periformis innervation
anterior rami of S1-S2
obturator internus origin
obturator membrane: pelvic surface ( and surrounding bone)
obturator internus insertion
greater trochanter of femur: medial surface (trochanteric fossa of femur)
