L10 muscles of the gluteal region Flashcards
superficial muscles of the gluteal region
G. Max, G. Medius, G. Minimus, TFL
inserts at the lat surface of the greater trochanter (femur)
G. Medius
both superficial glute muscles insert at the iliotibial tract
G. Max, TFL
insertion at the iliotibial tract allows wat movement?
knee extension
main action is to ABD thigh, tilt pelvis ant when walking (to permit opposition to clear ground), and IR of thigh
G. Medius
G. minimus is a synergist to wat muscle
G. Medius
deep muscles of the gluteal region
piriformis, obturator internus,
gemellus sup, gemellus inf, quadratus femoris
which deep muscles of the gluteal region insert at the upper bor. of the greater trochanter?
piriformis, OI, GS, GI
insertion of the quadratus femoris
quadrate tubercle of the femur
what deep glute muscle acts to stabilize the femoral head to the acetabulum
quadratus femoris
main action of the deep layer of the glute region
LR of thigh at hip joint
which deep glute muscle originates at the spine of the ischium?
gemellus sup
where does the piriformis originate among the ff.
a) ant surface of sacrum
b) ischial tuberosity
c) lat bor. of the ischial tuberosity
a) ant surface of sacrum
where does the gemellus inf originate among the ff.
a) ant surface of sacrum
b) ischial tuberosity
c) lat bor. of the ischial tuberosity
b) ischial tuberosity
where does the quadratus femoris originate among the ff.
a) ant surface of sacrum
b) ischial tuberosity
c) lat bor. of the ischial tuberosity
c) lat. bor. of the ischial tuberosity
where does the obturator internus originate
inner surface of the obturator membrane
what are the innervations of the deep glute muscles
piriformis - S1 & S2 nerves
GS, OI, GI, QF - sacral plexus
what are the red carpet muscles
OI, GS, GI, QF
- cuz the sciatic nerve (nerve beneath piriformis) passes above em
how many fascial compartments does the thigh have?
3
- ant
- med
- post
muscles of the anterior compartment of the thigh
sartorius, iliopsoas (iliacus, psoas),
pectineus, quadratus femoris (4)
-quadratus femoris - - rectus femoris, vastus medialis, lateralis, & intermedius
muscles of the medial compartment of the thigh
gracilis, add. longus, add. brevis, add. magnus, obturator externus
muscles of the post compartment of the thigh
Biceps femoris (long & short heads)
semitendinosus
semimembranosus
add. magnus
which compartment of the thigh has innervations at the femoral nerve & lumbar plexus?
ant
all muscles innervate at the femoral nerve except psoas
common origin of the vastus muscles
femoral shaft
origin of the iliacus
iliac fossa within the abdomen
origin of the Sartorius
ASIS
where does the rectus femoris originate
a) TP, bodies and iv discs of T12 & L1-L5
b) sup ramus of the pubis
c) AIIS, ilium above acetabulum
c) AIIS, ilium above acetabulum
