Term
Foramen
Definition
Round or oval opening through a bone; allow vessels/nerves to pass
Term
Ossa Coxae
Definition
Two sides of the pelvic girdle
Term
Sacroiliac Joints
Definition
Attach appendicular and axial skeleton; attach ilium to sacrum
Term
Pubic Symphysis
Definition
Attach ossa coxae at pubis, made of fibrocartillage, generally thicker in women; during pregnancy women produce relaxin to break down cartillage
Term
Correct orientation of pelvic girdle
Definition
Anterior superior iliac spine in same frontal/coronal plane as pubic tubercle
Term
Pelvic Brim
Definition
Marks space between the true pelvis and the false pelvis
Term
False Pelvis
Definition
Superior to pelvic brim, in the space between iliac bones, anterior; part of the abdomen, contains abdominal viscera
Term
True Pelvis
Definition
Inferior to pelvic brim, contains pelvic organs
Term
Sacrum
Definition
Axial skeleton, 5 fused vertebrae, anterior/posterial sacral foramina that nerves pass through; contains sacral canal that's part of spinal column, nerves; auricular surfaces that articulate with pelvic girdle
Term
Coccyx
Definition
Not part of the pelvic girdle, tailbone
Term
Ilium
Definition
Superior part of os coxae
Term
Ischium
Definition
Most inferior part of os coxae
Term
Pubis
Definition
Os coxae; inferior to ilium, anterior to ischium
Term
Acetabulum
Definition
Where ilium, ischium, and pubis fuse together; articulation point with head of femur to form hip joint; always points out laterally
Term
Iliac Crest
Definition
When you put your hands on your hip; L4 level is highest point, where belly button is; ends are anterior and superior iliac spine
Term
Anterior/Posterior Superior Iliac Spine
Definition
End points of iliac crest; anterior orients pelvis
Term
Anterior/Posterior Inferior Iliac Spine
Definition
Just below A/PSIS
Term
Greater Sciatic Notch
Definition
On Ilium; creates greater sciatic foramen, sciatic notch runs through
Term
Lesser Sciatic Notch
Definition
On Ischium
Term
Ischial Spine
Definition
Separates greater and lesser sciatic notch
Term
Ischial Tuberosity
Definition
Usually covered by gluteus maximus; exposed when you sit, holds weight when sitting
Term
Inferior/Superior Ramus of Pubis
Definition
Flat surfaces of pubis, split by pubic tubercle
Term
Obturator Foramen
Definition
Large foramen inferior to acetabulum; nothing really passes through
Term
Pubic Tubercle
Definition
Between Inferior/Superior pubic ramus; orients pelvis
Term
Femur
Definition
Only bone of thigh
Term
Head of the Femur
Definition
Points in medially; articulates with acetabulum
Term
Greater/Lesser Trochanter
Definition
Large is superior and lateral; on femur
Term
Intertrochanteric Crest
Definition
Posteriorly connects greater/lesser trochanter on femur
Term
Intertrochanteric Line
Definition
Anteriorly connects greater/lesser trochanter on femur
Term
Gluteal Tuberosity
Definition
Insertion of gluteus maximus muscle on femur
Term
Linea Aspera
Definition
Posterior side of diaphysis of femur, split into medial and lateral condylar lines
Term
Patellar Surface
Definition
Anterior inferior side of femur; splits lateral/medial condyle; articulates with patella
Term
Medial/Lateral Condyle of Femur
Definition
Inferior sides of femur; medial on same side of head
Term
Popliteal Surface
Definition
Posterior side of femur; superior half of floor of popliteal fossa
Term
Medial/Lateral Epicondyle
Definition
Roughened outer surface of condyles on femur
Term
Adductor Tubercle
Definition
Medial distal end of femur; attaches to adductor muscles
Term
Patella
Definition
Artucular surfaces for medial/lateral femoral condyle; sesamoid bone found in quadriceps tendon, inferior portion of tendon is patellar ligament running to tibial tuberosity
Term
Tibia
Definition
Medial bone of leg; weight bearing
Term
Fibula
Definition
Lateral bone of let; doesn't participate in knee joint, under plateau of tibia; posterior end has a fossa
Term
Medial/Lateral Condyle of Tibia
Definition
Articulate with Medial/Lateral Condyle of Femur;
Term
Tibial Tuberosity
Definition
