pelvic region Flashcards
Describe functions of pelvic girdle and hip joint
Locomotion, weight bearing & maintaining equilibrium + Provides attachment for powerful muscles involved in locomotion and maintenance of upright posture while Protects abdominopelvic structures
Identify bones, joints of pelvic girdle and hip
bones : Ilium, ischium, acetabulum
Joints : pubic symphysis and the lumbosacral, sacroiliac, and sacrococcygeal joints.
Describe differences in pelvic bone structure
Male : the narrower male pelvis with acute angle at the symphysis pubis, Thick and heavy, Small pelvic outlet
Female : Wider pelvis with obtuse angle at the symphysis pubis, Thin and light, Large pelvic outlet
ilium bone : function and contents
The widest and most superior component of the hip bone
external part = attachments to the gluteal muscles.
ischium bone : function and contents
leg mobility, balance, standing up, and lifting tasks
attachments for hamstrings and quadrutus femoris and adductor Magnus
where is sacroiliac joint
where is sacrococcygeal joint
sacrum, and the base of the coccyx
where is the the pubic symphysis
left pelvic bone connects with your right pelvic bone.
classification of pubic symphysis
secondary cartilaginous
where is acetabular labrum
the socket
where is the sacrospinous ligament
attached to the ischial spine (a bone prominence in the lower pelvis) and the lateral (side) regions of the sacrum
where is the sacrotuberous ligament,
connects the bony pelvis to the vertebral column
where is the iliofemoral ligament
arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) and attaches to the line of the femur.
where is ligament of the head of the femur (teres)
muscles of the anterior hip region
Illacus
Psoas Major
Psoas major
O= lumbar, spine (bodies of all lumbar vertebrae)
I = Lesser trochanter of femur as iliopsoas tendon
