WEEK 5: Intro Low Limb & Thigh Flashcards
Inguinal Ligament
a set of two narrow bands in the inguinal area of the body (the groin)
-infolding of APONEUROSIS of the muscle external oblique abdomens
-extends between ANTERIOR superior iliac spine (ASIS & Pubic tubercle
inguinal area
also known as the groin
Another name for inguinal ligament
Poupart’s Ligament

- Fibula
- Tibia
- Tarsal Bones
- Metatarsal
- Phalanges
Pelvis Osteology
- Base of Sacrum
- Iliac fossa
- Sacrum
- Coccyx
- Pubic Arch
HIP BONE (coxal bone) - Ilium
- Pubis
- Ischium
- Iliac crest
- Sacroiliac joint
- Anterior superior iliac spine
- Sacral promontory
- Anterior inferior iliac spine
- Pelvic brim
- Acetabulum
- Public tubercle
- Public Crest
- Public Symphysis
Pelvis Girdle
- 2 pelvic bones
- connecting posteriorly to the sacrum (sacroiliac joints)
- connect anteriorly at the public symphysis
3 different bones of the pelvis - Os Coax
- Ilium
- Ischium
- Pubis
Acetabulum
- a large socket on the lateral face of the hip bone that articulates with the head of the femur to form the hip joint
- deep socket for articulation
with the femur - Formed by all 3 pelvis Bones
Ilium
Largest of 3 bones
- Located superiorly
Ala of ilium
The ala (wing) of ilium is the superiorly located, thin, fan-shaped part of the bone
Anterior ilium
- Anterior Superior iliac spine (ASIS)
- Anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS)
Superior ilium
- iliac crest
- iliac tubercle
Posterior ilium
- posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS)
- posterior inferior iliac spine (PIIS)
– Superior Border of greater Sciatic Notch
Lateral ilium
3 gluteal lines that demarcate origin of gluteal muscles
- Anterior gluteal line
- Posterior gluteal line
- Inferior gluteal line
Medial ilium
- iliac fossa
- iliac tuberosity (art w/ sacrum)
- arcuate line
Ischium location
inferiorly & posteriorly
Part of the Ischium
- ischial tuberosity
- ramus of the ischium
- ischial spine (ligam & musc attachment site)
- body of ischium
Pubis location
anteriorly & medially
