Gluteus maximus, medius and minimus are responsible of…
Extension and rotation of hip.
Inguinal ligament goes from the Anterior superior iliac spine to

Iliac tubercle
M. rectus femoris Quad (also from Posterior head above acetabulum) runs from Anterior inferior iliac spine to ______ , anterior head Extension of leg at knee joint; flexion of thigh at hip joint
Patella
Strongest ligament in body that runs from Anterior inferior iliac spine to Femur, intertrochanteric line
Maintains pelvis position; keeps femoral head in acetabulum is called
Iliofemoral ligament
What runs from the Iliac fossa to Femur, lesser trochanter?
M. Iliacus: flexes thigh at hip joint
Which ligaments attach to the acetabulum?
Ligamentum teres and Transverse acetabular ligament
Ligamentum teres (from Femur, fovea capitis) prevents what?
displacement of femur
Transverse acetabular ligament (at edge, across acetabular notch) prevents what?
displacement of femur
Which ligament attaches to the Pubic tubercle?
Inguinal ligament
M. Pectineus runs from Pectineal line of superior ramus of pubis to ________, lesser trochanter & linea aspera
Thigh flexion and adduction
Femur
M. adductor magnus runs from ________ ______ _____ to Femur, linea aspera & adductor tubercle

Inferior pubic ramus (also ischial tuberosity)
M. adductor longus runs from _______ ______
to Femur, linea aspera
Thigh adduction, flexion, medial rotation
Anterior pubis
Name the hamstring muscles
M. biceps femoris, M. semitendinosus and M. semimembranosus
the lateral head of M. biceps femoris attaches where?(long head) (also from Femur, short head) to Fibula, lateral head______, ______ ______
Knee flexion/rotation and hip extension
Tibia, lateral condyle
M. semitendinosus to Tibia, medial diaphysis and M. semimembranosus to Tibia, posterior medial condyle are responsible of
Knee flexion/rotation and hip extension
Accessory iliac and sacral facets are what?
Non-metric, Articulations between ilium and sacrum other than at position of auricular surface
Groove just inferior to caudal limb of auricular surface is called
Pre-auricular sulcus (non-metric)
Groove penetrating the lunate surface from the superior margin of the acetabular notch near the trace of the triradiate suture is called
Acetabular crease (non-metric)
Underdeveloped acetabulum (non-metric) is linked with
congenital hip dysplasia
Eroded areas on pubic body are called
Dorsal pitting (non-metric)
