Pelvic Muscles/Skeleton Flashcards
Describe location of tuber sacrale
Dorsal-most bony prominence
Describe location of tuber coxae
cranial and ventral to tuber sacrale
Describe location of ischiatic tuberosity
Very caudal aspect of pelvis
What is the greater trochanter
lateral aspect of the proximal end of the femur
(medial aspect is the head of the femur)
Superficial gluteal (a)
tuber coxae & gluteal fascia – 3rd trochanter
Deep gluteal (a)
ischial spine – greater trochanter
Middle gluteal (a)
gluteal surface of ilium – greater trochanter
Accessory gluteal (a)
gluteal surface of ilium – greater trochanter
-deep to middle gluteal
biceps femoris (a)
caudal & sacral vertebrae, sacrosciatic ligament, ischiatic tuberosity – patella (lat and middle ligaments), cranial tibial, crura fascia, lcanean tendon
Semitendinous (a)
caudal & sacral vertebrae, sacrosciatic ligament, ischiatic tuberosity, cranial tibial and crural fascia – calcanean tendon
Semimembranous (a)
caudal & sacral vertebrae, sacrosciatic ligament, ischiatic tuberosity – medial condyles of femur & tibia
