Name blanked out muscles of the hip.
What action do muscles of anterior thigh compartment have on the hip?
Flexion.
What nerve innervates most of the large hip muscles of the anterior compartment?
Femoral nerve
Name the missing large muscles of medial thigh compartment.
Name the missing large muscles of the medial thigh compartment.
What action on the hip do the large muscles of the medial thigh compartment have?
Adduction
What nerve innervates large hip muscles of the medial thigh compartment?
Obturator nerve.
Follows the brim of the pelvis.
Name large hip muscles of posterior thigh compartment.
Name missing large muscles of posterior hip compartment.
What nerve innervates large hip muscles of posterior compartment?
Sciatic nerve
What movement do the large muscles of the posterior hip compartment allow?
Hip extension.
Name these superficial muscles of the gluteal region.
What movement does gluteus maximus allow the hip to do?
Some pretty major hip extension
What innervates gluteus maximus?
Inferior gluteal nerve.
Where does Gluteus Maximus start and end?
Runs from illiac crest/ sacral region into the connective tissue of the ilio-tibial band and fascia latae.
What innervates Gluteus medialis and minimus?
Superior gluteal nerve
If superior gluteal nerve is damaged, what gait will be seen?
Trendelenburg.
What hip movement do gluteus medialis and minimus allow for?
Hip abduction
Where do gluteus medialis and minimus start and end?
Crest to greater trochanter.
Can you name the missing vessels, nerves and muscles?
What’s the bowl shaped hole where the femur goes in to create the hip joint called?
acetabulum
What movements of the hip does the sartorius muscle allow for?
Mostly:
Hip flexion
Lateral rotation
Which of the following crosses over two joints and so affects the hip joint as well as the knee?
- Vastus medialis
- Vastas lateralis
- Rectus femoris
Rectus femoris - hip flexor
Which band of connecive tissue leads to “runner’s knee”?
ilio-tibial band - due to muscle use and pulling on knee
What is this small hip muscle?
What are these 3 small hip muscles that work together called?
What is the collective name for the 3 small hip muscles below the piriformis called?
Triceps coxii
probs spelt wrong, but that’s how it sounded
What are the 3 small hip muscles of the triceps coxii (sp?) ?
- gemellus superior
- obturator internis
- gemellus inferior
probably all spelt wrong :P my bad!
What are the names of all 6 small hip muscles?
- Piriformis
- gemellus superior
- obturator internus
- gemellus inferior
- quadratus femoris
- obturator externus
Where is the sciatic nerve in relation to the piriformis muscle?
sciatic nerve inferior to muscle
There are anatomical variations that can change this and lead to sciatica.
What movement of the hip do all the 6 small muscles do?
Lateral rotation
What are the names of the important hip foramina?
- Obturator foramen - muscles attach to
- Greater sciatic foramen - muscles go out of
- (Lesser sciatic foramen, below this)
Name the missing stuff
