Terminology
The Patella for example.
What is a Sesamoid Bone?
Its origin is the inferior ramus of the pubis, ischial tuberosity, and the ramus of ischium. It inserts at the entire linea aspera and adductor tubercle (medial epicondyle) of the femur.
What is the Adductor Magnus?
Both Gluteus Minimus and Gluteus Medius.
What is the Greater Trochanter of the Femur.
Leilanie calls it graceful.
What is the Gracilis?
The Iliacus.
What is the Iliac Fossa and Sacrum?
This bony landmark gives attachment to a number of muscles (gluteus medius and minimus for example).
What is the Greater Trochanter?
This muscle originates at the lateral condyle of femur and inserts at the medial condyle of tibia (proximal).
What is the Popliteus?
Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Intermedius, Vastus Medialis, and Rectus Femoris (The Quads).
What is the Tibial Tuberosity via Patellar Ligament.
One of your quadriceps, this muscle is the odd one out.
What is the Rectus Femoris?
Both the Semimembranosus and the Semitendinosus.
What is the Ischial Tuberosity?
This is the rotation of the tibia and femur that occurs at the end of knee extension.
What is the Screw Home Mechanism?
One of two, this muscle originates at the ischial tuberosity and inserts at the head of the fibula.
What is the Biceps Femoris Long Head?
The Obturator Externus.
What is the trochanteric fossa of the femur?
This deep muscle accomplishes plantar flexion but does not cross the knee joint.
What is the Soleus?
The Gluteus Maximus.
What is the Iliac Crest, Posterior Sacrum, and Coccyx?
Its acronym is AIIS.
What is the Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine?
This deep muscle originates at the anterior lateral sacrum and inserts at the upper border of greater trochanter of femur.
What is the Piriformis?
The Semitendinosis.
What is the Pes Anserine?
Often called the tailor's muscle, it accomplishes the movements required to sit cross-legged (hip flexion, knee flexion, hip lateral rotation).
What is the Sartorius?
The Adductor Brevis.
What is the inferior Ramus of the Pubis?
Dale refers to this as a ligament, when in fact it is this. (Just ask Leilanie)
What is the Patellar Tendon?
It originates along the inner surface of obturator membrane and its bone margins and inserts at the greater trochanter of femur.
What is the Obturator Internus ?
The Quadratus Femoris.
What is the Intertrochanteric Crest of the Femur?
This muscle assists in keeping the balance of the pelvis while standing, walking, or running. (Not named for the hot drink)
What is the Tensor Fascia Latae?
The Psoas Major.
What is the Transverse Processes, Intervertebral Discs, and Bodies of T12 to L5 (lumbar vertebrae)?
