I lift heavy things

What is iliopsoas
I innervate obturator internus
What is the nerve to the obturator internus and superior gemellus (L5/S1/S2)
I am an anteriorly projecting ridge on the superior aspect of the sacrum
What is the sacral promontory
You will find this between the fovea and the acetabular notch
What is the ligament of the head (or ligamentum teres)
I fall posterior to the posterior gluteal line
What is gluteus maximus
I am the origin to tensor fascia latae
What is the anterior superior iliac spine and the lateral lip of the iliac crest
I exit through the greater sciatic foramen with the sciatic nerve
What is piriformis
I am the "bridge" between the superior pubic ramus and the ischial tuberosity
What is the inferior pubic ramus?
Ridge running between the greater and lesser trochanter on the anterior side of the femur indicating the junction of the neck and shaft
What is the intertrochanteric line
The gemelli's are my best friends with one above and below me.
What is Obturator Internus
I innervate the glute muscle that is responsible for a trendelenburg gait
What is the Superior gluteal Nerve (L4-S1)?
The sacrotuberous ligament has attachments on the lateral sacral crest, coccyx, ischial tuberosity and what other structures?
What is the PSIS and PIIS
You can find me 5cm posterior to ASIS on the side of the crest
What is the tubercle of the iliac crest
I am a small projection from the neck and body that points inferior and medially on the posterior aspect
What is the lesser trochanter
We are the two ligaments of the pelvis that convert the greater sciatic notch into a foramen.
What are the sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments.
The anterior and lateral surface of the proximal femur shaft and the lateral intermuscular septum are the origin to what muscle?
What is vastus intermedius
What is obturator externus
I am vertical between the iliac crest and PIIS
What is the posterior gluteal line
I am a roughened depression on the medial posterior aspect of the fever which is the insertion for obturator externus.
What is the trochanteric fossa
I am the origin to superior gemellus
What is the ischial spine
What is Superior Gluteal Nerve (L4-S1)
I am a muscle that has anterior fibers which assists with medial rotation of the hip and posterior fibers that assist with lateral rotation of the hip
What is gluteus medius
I am formed by the wings of the ilium (laterally),the lumbar vertebrae (posteriorly), and the iliopectineal line.
What is the Greater/False
I serve as the insertion for the quadrator femoris
What is the quadrate tubercle
I am the nerve that passes through the lesser sciatic foramen
What is the nerve to Obturator Internus
