pelvic limb attachments

Question 1

biceps femoris

Answer 1

ischiatic tuberosity/sacrotuberous ligament –> patellar lig, patella, cranial tibia, tuber calcanei

Question 2

semitendinosus

Answer 2

ischiatic tuberosity–> medial surface of body of tibia, tuber calcanei

Question 3

semimembranosus

Answer 3

ischiatic tuberosity–> distal medial femur, medial condyle of tibia (proximal tibia)

Question 4

superficial gluteal

Answer 4

sacrotuberous ligament –> 3rd trochanter of femur

Question 5

middle gluteal

Answer 5

cranial lateral and dorsal surface of ileum–> greater trochanter of femur

Question 6

deep gluteal

Answer 6

ilium (caudal to middle gluteal) –> greater trochanter

Question 7

iliopsoas

Answer 7

ventral lumbar vertebrae–> lesser trochanter

Question 8

sartorius

Answer 8

2 bellies
cranial border of ilium –> proximal tibia, patella

Question 9

gracilis

Answer 9

pelvic symphysis–> cranial tibia/tuber calcanei

Question 10

pectineus

Answer 10

iliopubic eminence–> caudalmedial surface of femur

Question 11

adductor

Answer 11

pelvic symphysis and ventral surfaces of ischium and pubis –> caudal aspect of femur

Question 12

quadriceps femoris

Answer 12

rectus femoris = ilium –>patellar lig
all other heads = proximal femur–> patellar ligament

Question 13

gastrocnemius

Answer 13

lateral/medial supracondylar tuberosities of the femur (distal femur) –>tuber calcanei

Answer 17

proximal tibia and fibula –>plantar metatarsals and 4th tarsal

Question 18

deep digital flexor

Answer 18

proximal 2/3 of tibia and fibula–>p3 of all digits plantar
