Bones
1. The Sacrum is made up of ______ fused
vertebrae?
Answer: 5
2. The ______________ is also known as the “tail
bone”, and is just distal to the sacrum. Also
made up of 3-5 vertebrae.
Answer: Coccyx
3. What are the 3 bones that fuse together to
make up what is called the pelvis.
Answer: Ilium, Ischium and Pubis
Hip Joint
The union of what bones makes up the “Hip
Joint”?
Answer: Femur and Pelvis
*Femur inserts to the acetabulum of the hip and
therefore forms a joint with the Ischium, Ilium
and Pubis bones.
Bone Structures
1.
This is formed by all three of the fused hip bones(Ilium, Ischium and Pubis),
and is “cup-like” in shape to hold the femur in place at the hip.
Answer: Acetabulum
2.
This sits on the interior surface of the structure from question #1. It’s
role is to absorb shock, like the meniscus in the knee.
Answer: Acetabular Labrum
3.
The upper edge of the pelvis (ilium bone) is known as the ________
_________. * The PSIS is the most distal part of this structure, and the ASIS
is the most anterior part of this
structure.*
Answer: Iliac Crest
4.
The piece of cartilage that separates the right pubis bone from the left pubis
bone.
Answer: Pubic Symphysis
5.
What is the one ligament at the hip that actually has space for blood to
travel through to allow nutrients to reach the head of the femur.
Answer: Ligamentum Teres
Passage Ways
1.
Little Holes or “openings” in bones, such as the sacrum, are referred to as
_______________. They are present to allow blood vessels and nerves to pass through.
Answer: Foramen
2.
The adductor ________________ is formed by the gracilis and adductor
magnus muscles at the distal aspect of the femur to allow blood vessles and
nerves to travel down to the lower leg.
Answer: Hiatus
3.
The ____________ triangle is a space formed by the inguinal ligament, along
with some other muscles, and is a place where nerves and blood vessels can
travel.
Answer: Femoral
4.
The ________________ ________________ is an “opening” formed by the
Ischium and pubis bones, and allows nerves and blood vessels to pass
through.
Answer: Obturator Foramen
Miscellaneous
1.
These two muscles both insert distally to the IT Band?
Answer: Gluteus Maximus and the Tensor Fasciae Latae.
2.
This muscle is the longest muscle in the body, and attaches to the
ASIS.
Answer: Sartorius
3. This muscle is the only quadricep muscle to cross the hip AND
knee joints, it also attaches to the AIIS.
Answer: Rectus Femoris
4.
This muscles is the only “adductor” muscle to cross both the knee
and the hip joints. It also helps form the adductor hiatus.
Answer: Gracilis
