Plane and Simple
This plane creates superior and inferior portions of the body.
Transverse Plane
This structure connects the greater and lesser trochanters on the posterior femur.
Intertrochanteric crest
This type of joint classification describes the anterior sacroiliac joint.
Synovial plane joint
This flat quadrangular muscle extends from the lateral border of the ischial tuberosity to the intertrochanteric crest.
Quadratus Femoris
This muscle originates from the anterior superior iliac spine and inserts on the medial proximal tibia.
Sartorius
This flat, sheet-like tendon is found in areas such as the palm and lower back.
These landmark forms the superior border of the greater sciatic notch.
Posterior inferior iliac spine
This hip ligament limits excessive abduction and extension
Pubofemoral ligament
These two muscles share a common tendon that inserts on the medial aspect of the greater trochanter.
Obturator internus
Superior gemellus?
This muscle forms the lateral border of the popliteal fossa.
Biceps femoris
The rectus femoris is an example of this muscle arrangement.
This angle, formed by the inferior pubic rami, is typically larger in biological females than in biological males.
Subpubic angle (pubic arch)
These two ligaments are considered the primary stabilizers of the sacroiliac joint
Interosseous sacroiliac ligament
Posterior sacroiliac ligament
This muscle serves as an important anatomical landmark because structures entering the gluteal region are often described as passing superior or inferior to it.
Piriformis
Damage to this nerve would most likely weaken knee extension.
Femoral nerve (L2-L4)
This cartilage type is the toughest and found in structures such as the meniscus and intervertebral discs.
Fibrocartilage
This bony ridge forms the continuation of the linea aspera toward the medial condyle and provides an attachment for the adductor magnus.
Medial supracondylar line
This position of the hip places the capsular ligaments in their most relaxed state.
Flexion
A lesion of the superior gluteal nerve would most directly impair this action at the hip.
Hip abduction
Gluteus medius
Gluteus minimus
Tensor fasciae latae
Sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus are synergists in this movement
Knee flexion
A surgeon makes an incision through superficial fascia and then encounters a dense connective tissue layer that compartmentalizes muscles. What layer has been reached?
Deep fascia (dascia profunda)
This femoral feature provides attachment for both the cruciate ligaments and the posterior horns of the menisci.
Intercondylar fossa (intercondylar notch)
This ligament extends from the pelvic surface of the sacrum to the adjacent auricular surface of the ilium.
Anterior sacroiliac ligament
This muscle originates from the obturator membrane but reaches its insertion by making a near 90-degree turn around the lesser sciatic notch.
Obturator internus
The origin of vastus lateralis shares this bony landmark with the insertion of both gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.
Greater trochanter
One of the vastus lateralis origins
The insertion for both glute med and glute min
