LE AND GLEUTAL REGION Flashcards
1
Q
Functions of the lower extremity
A
- support weight of the body
- produce locomotion
2
Q
The three hip bones
A
- Ilium
- Pubis
- Ischium
3
Q
What does the hip bones form
A
- forms the lower limb girdle
- forms the anterolateral wall of pelvis
4
Q
Meeting point of the three hip bones
A
Acetabulum
5
Q
Articulations of the three hip bones
A
- Sacrum
- Anterior = symphysis pubis (where 2 pubos body meets)
- Posterior = sacroiliac joint (where sacrum and ilium meet)
6
Q
At what side is the acetabulum located
A
Lateral side ALWAYS
7
Q
The largest bone of all three hip bones
A
Ilium
8
Q
Structures that form the ilium
A
- Iliac crest
- Iliac tubercle
- Anterior Superior Iliac spine (ASIS)
- Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine (AIIS)
- Posterior Superior Iliac Spine (PSIS)
- Posterior Inferior Iliac Spine (PIIS)
- Greater Sciatic Notch
9
Q
iliac crest
A
- upper flattened portion of the ilium
- highest point of ilium
10
Q
location of iliac crest
A
- level of L4
- ends at ASIS and PSIS
11
Q
iliac tubercle location
A
- 2 inches behind ASIS (felt anteriorly)
12
Q
Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine
A
- below ASIS
13
Q
Posterior Inferior Iliac Spine
A
- below PSIS; S2
- dimple above butt??
14
Q
Greater sciatic notch
A
- above and behind acetabulum
- level of ilium
- becomes a foramen (greater and lesser sciatic foramina) when ligaments (sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments) are attached to it
15
Q
ISCHIUM
A
- more bulky and thick than pubis
- more on posterior side
- L-shaped
16
Q
structures that form the ischium
A
- ischial tuberosity
- ischial spine
- obturator foramen
- ischial ramus
17
Q
ischial tuberosity
A
- site of attachment for hamstrings
- felt during sitting tall
- “sit bone”
- large roughened area
- forms posterior aspect of lower part of body of the bone
