Q

Pubofemoral Ligament

A

blends with the inferior band of the iliofemoral and pectineus muscle

44
Q

Ischiofemoral ligament

A

winds posteriorly around the femur and attaches anteriorly, strengthening the capsule

All extra-articular hip ligaments tighten with:

A

hip extension

47
Q

the lateral band of the iliofemoral ligament limits:

the most powerful of the hip flexors

52
Q

iliopsoas is made up of:

A

iliacus and psoas major

53
Q

Pectineus

adducts, flexes, and internally rotates the hip

54
Q

Rectus femoris

A

combines the movements of hip flexion and knee extension

55
Q

Tensor fascia latae

A

assists in flexing, abductiong, and internally rotating the hip

56
Q

Sartorius

A

the longest muscle in the body

responsible for flexion, abduction, and external rotation of the hip as well as some degree of knee flexion

extends the hip, flexes the knee, and externally rotates the tibia

72
Q

action of semimembranosus and semitendinosus

A

extends the hip, flexes the knee, and internally rotates the tibia

73
Q

Hip adductors

A

adductor magnus, longus, and brevis, and the gracilis

Iliopsoas bursa

A

aka iliopectineal
located under the inguinal ligament, between the iliopsoas tendon and the iliopectineal eminence of teh superior pubic ramus
