limits medial/ internal rotation

60
Q

A

hanging on his ligaments

61
Q

the gluteus maximus

A

supplied by the inferior gluteal nerve, is a large superficial muscle that is primarily responsible for the prominence of the buttock

62
Q

gluteus maximus function

A

primarily a hip extender - so it takes your leg/ thigh behind you

63
Q

the gluteus Maximus has two bursa. The trochanteric bursa and the ischiogluteal bursa. Describe these

A

The trochanteric bursa is found between the muscle and the greater trochanter. The ischiogluteal bursa is between the gluteus maximus and the ischial tuberosity.

64
Q

gluteus medias is partially covered posteriorly by the glut max. The gluteus medias’ functions( the deltoid of the gluts) are:

the old lady walking video

71
Q

The piriformis

A

supplied by the nerve to the piriformis, lies next to the gluteus minimus. It exits the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen to insert into the upper border of the greater trochanter.

72
Q

The obturator internus

A

supplied by the nerve to the obturator internus and superior gemellus, after it emerges from the lesser sciatic foramen, crosses the hip joint and inserts via its tendon into the medial surface of the greater trochanter.

73
Q

The tendon of the obturator internus is joined by

A

the superior and inferior gemellus muscles.

74
Q

The gemellus superior and gemellus inferior

A

are small muscles lying adjacent to the tendon of the obturator internus. Both insert into the tendon of the obturator internus. For the innervation to these two muscles, see obturator internus (above) and quadratus femoris (below) innervation descriptions

75
Q

The quadratus femoris supplied by the nerve to the _____ and ____, is a flat muscle covering the external surface of the _______. It crosses the posterior aspect of the neck of the femur and ends on the quadrate tubercle of the femur

A

The quadratus femoris , supplied by the nerve to the QUADRATIC FEMORIS AND INFERIOR GEMELLUS, is a flat muscle covering the external surface of the POSTERIOR PELVIC WALL.

76
Q

The obturator externus arises from the external surface of the
_____ and _______, It passes underneath the hip joint and courses deep to the quadratus femoris to insert into the medial side of the greater trochanter at the _________. The obturator externus is the only muscle of the gluteal region innervated by the ________

A

The obturator externus (Netter: 481) arises from the external surface of the OBTURATOR FORAMEN AND OBTURATOR MEMBRANE, It passes underneath the hip joint and courses deep to the quadratus femoris to insert into the medial side of the greater trochanter at the TROCHANTERIC FOSSA. The obturator externus is the only muscle of the gluteal region that is innervated by the OBTURATOR NERVE

77
Q

The 6 rotators of the hip produce external rotation and abduction EXCEPT
