Lecture 4- Organization of the Pelvic Limb and coxofemoral joint Flashcards
What regions of the pelvic limb make up the proximal hindlimb
Gluteal and thigh
What regions of the pelvic limb make up the distal hindlimb
Crus/leg
What regions of the pelvic limb make up the ankle bones
Tarsus
What regions of the pelvic limb make up the hindpaw
Pes
What characteristics of the pelvic limb made them adapted for propulsion
Longer and more angular than thoracic limb
Heavily muscled
Connected directly to vertebral column via sacroiliac joint
What direction does the hindlimb rotate during development
Ventrally
Developmentally dorsal compartments are ___ in vivo
Cranial
Developmentally ventral compartments are ____ in vivo
Caudal
What muscles are the primary abductors of the hip
Superficial gluteal muscles/lateral muscles of the pelvis:
Gluteus medius, gluteus profundus, tensor fasciae lathe, and gluteus superficialis
What is the function of the superficial gluteal muscles
Extend and abduct the hip
What nerve primarily innervates the superficial gluteal muscles
Cranial gluteal nerve
Where do primary abductors of the hip originate from
Ilium
OINA for gluteus medius and what muscle compartment
O: ilium
I: greater trochanter
N: cranial gluteal nerve
A: extend and abduct the hip
Muscle group: primary abductor- superficial gluteal muscles
OINA for gluteus profundus and muscle compartment
O: ilium
I: greater trochanter
N: cranial gluteal nerve
A: extend and abduct hip
Muscle group: abductors of hip, superficial gluteal muscles
OINA for tensor fasciae latae and what muscle compartment
O: ilium
I: fascia latae (thus tibia)
N: cranial gluteal nerve
A: flex hip and extend stifle
Muscle group: abductors of hip, superficial gluteal muscles
OINA for gluteus superficialis and muscle compartment
O: ilium
I: third trochanter
N: caudal gluteal nerve
A: extend and abduct hip
Muscle group: abductors of hip, superficial gluteal muscles
Why are hip abductors important during walking
The support phase limb is abducting in order to support the weight of the limb in swing phase to prevent collapse
What are the primary rotators of the hip
Deep gluteal muscles
Gemelli
Obturator internus
Quadratic femora’s
Obturator externus
What is the function of the deep gluteal muscles
Lateral rotators of the hip
What nerve primarily innervates the deep gluteal muscles
Lumbosacral trunk
OINA for Gemelli and muscle group
O: Ischium
I: trochanter fossa
N: lumbosacral trunk
A: lateral rotator of hip
Muscle group: primary rotator of hip, deep gluteal muscle
OINA for Obturator internus and muscle group
O: ischium
I: trochanter floss
N: lumbosacral trunk
A: lateral rotator of hip
Muscle group: rotators of hip, deep gluteal muscles
OINA for quadratic femoris
O: ischium
I: trochanter fossa
N: lumbosacral trunk
A: lateral rotator of hip
Muscle group: rotators of hip, deep gluteal muscles
OINA for Obturator externus
O: ischium
I: trochanter fossa
N: Obturator nerve
A: lateral rotator of thighs
Muscle group: rotators of hip, deep gluteal muscles
