Lecture 4: Organization of Pelvic Limb Flashcards
developmentally, dorsal components of pelvic limb are _____ in vivo and ventral components are ______
dorsal - cranial
ventral - caudal
the femur is connected to the acetabulum via…
ligament of the femoral head (which is a continuation of the transverse acetabular ligament)
main function of the superficial gluteal muscle (lateral muscles of pelvis)
primarily extend and abduct the hip
what is the primary innervation of the superficial gluteal muscle (lateral muscles of pelvis)
Cranial gluteal nerve
what is the origin and insertion for most superficial gluteal muscles
origin: ilium
insertion: greater trochanter
what are the superficial gluteal muscles (lateral muscles of pelvis)
Many people support terrible fads
- gluteus medius
- gluteus profundus
- tensor fasciae latae
- gluteus superficialis
what is the insertion point of the tensor fascia latae
fascia lata (and tibia)
what is the function of the tensor fasciae latae
flex hip, extend stiffle
what is the innervation of the gluteus superficialis
caudal gluteal nerve
what is the insertion of the gluteus superficialis
third trochanter
what muscle group is the primary ABductors of the hip
superficial gluteal muscles
what muscle group is the primary (lateral) rotators of the hip
deep gluteal muscles
what are the deep gluteal muscles
- gemelli
- obturator internus
- quadratus femoris
- obturator externus
only obvious queens get assasinated
what is the innervation of the deep gluteal muscles
sciatic n.
what is the origin of the deep gluteal muscles
ischium
what is the innervation of the obturator externus (a deep gluteal muscle)
obturator nerve, laterally rotates thigh
what is the articularis coxae
protects the hip joint capsule
what muscle group is the primary extensors of the hip
caudal thigh muscles
what are the caudal thigh muscles
- biceps femoris
- semimembranosus
- semitendinosus
what are the caudal thigh muscles innervated by
sciatic nerve
where do the caudal thigh muscles originate
partly originate from the ischial tuberosity
what is the cranial head of biceps femoris innervated by
caudal gluteal nerve
what is a muscle found only in felines that helps control and move the tail
caudofemoralis
what is a muscle found only in carnivores that helps abduct the leg, it is called the tenuissimus in cats
caudal crural abductor
what muscle group is the primary adductors of the hip
medial thigh muscles
what are the medial thigh muscles
- sartorius
- pectineus
- adductor
- gracillis
where do the medial thigh muscles originate
from the pelvis
what are the medial thigh muscles primarily innervated by
(pectinues, adductor, gracilis)
obturator nerve
