curved ridge through pelvis

Question 17

muscles that flex hip

Answer 17

psoas major - T12-L5 to lesser trochanter (lumbar plexus L1-L3)
iliacus - iliac fossa to lesser trochanter (femoral nerve L2-L3)
sartorius - ASIS to medial tibial condyle (femoral nerve L2-L4)
rectus femoris - AIIS to tibial tuberosity (femoral nerve L2-L4)

Question 18

3 ligaments in the hip

Answer 18

ischiofemoral - ischium to the femur
iliofemoral - AIIS to intertrochanteric line

1cm deep to surface mark
attaches at ASIS to pubic tubercle

Question 22

muscles that abduct hip

Answer 22

gluteus medius - posteror surface of ilium to greater trochanter (sup gluteal nerve L5,S1)
gluteus minimus - posterior surface of ilum to greater trochanter sup gluteal nerve L5, S1)
tensor fascia latae -iliac crest & ASIS to iliotibial tract (superior gluteal nerve L4,L5,S1)

Question 23

pectineus muscle

Answer 23

helps with adduction of thigh and flexion

Question 24

gracillis muscle

hip adduction, knee flexion

Question 25

muscle that extend the hip

Answer 25

gluteus maximus - posterior surface of ilium to gluteal tuberosity on femur (inferior gluteal nerve L5,S1,S2)
gluteus medius - posterior surface of ilium to the greater trochanter (superior gluteal nerve L5,S1)
hamstrings

Question 26

muscles that adduct the hip

Answer 26

adductor magnus - oblique head - inferior pubis ramus &ischial ramus to gluteal tuberosity (obturator nerve (L2-L4)
vertical head - ischial tuberosity to adductor tubercle of femur sciatic nerve (L2-L4)
adductor longus - superior pubis ramus to distal linea aspera on femur
adductor brevis - inferior pubis ramus to proximal linea aspera (obturator nerve L3,L4)
Gracilis - pubic body to medial surface of tibia (obturator nerve L3,L4)
