Question
Answer
name the 4 bones that make up the pelvic girdle   sacrum, coccyx, & 2 hip bones  
🗑
name the 3 bones that make up the hip   ilium, ischium, pubis  
🗑
Where are the sacroiliac joints located?   posterolaterally, between the sacrum and the left & right ilium bones  
🗑
Where is the sypmphysis pubis located?   anteriorly, between the left & right pubic bones  
🗑
Where is the lumbosacral joint located?   superiorly, between L5 & S1, where the spine meets the sacrum  
🗑
What is the pelvic girdle also referred to as?   the pelvis  
🗑
How many planes does the pelvic girdle move in during walking?   3  
🗑
What important function does the pelvic girdle provide during movement & posture?   supports weight of vertebral column and passes force on to hips (also works conversely when foot contacts the ground)  
🗑
false pelvis   aka: greater or major pelvis; bony area between iliac crests & is superior to pelvic inlet  
🗑
How many PELVIC organs are within the false pelvis?   None  
🗑
pelvic inlet   line from sacral promontory posteriorly to superior boarder of symphysis pubis anteriorly  
🗑
true pelvis   aka: lesser or minor pelvis; area between pelvic inlet & pelvic outlet  
🗑
pelvic outlet   line from end of coccyx to inferior surface of pubic symphysis  
🗑
pelvic cavity   true pelvic area; contains portions of GI tract, urinary tract, some reproductive organs , & birth canal  
🗑
How does the superior opening into the pelvic cavity differ between genders?   male = heart shaped / female = oval  
🗑
Which gender's pelvic cavity is longer and more funnel shaped?   males  
🗑
Which gender has a wider & more rounded pelvic arch?   females  
🗑
Which gender has their acetabula & ischial tuberosities further apart?   females  
🗑
What type of joint is the sacroiliac joint?   synovial, nonaxial, plane joint with irregular surfaces  
🗑
Is the sacroiliac joint very stable?   yes  
🗑
Is the sacroiliac joint very mobile?   no  
🗑
What is a synovial joint's articular surface lined with?   hyaline cartilage  
🗑
nutation   aka: sacral flexion; base (top) of sacrum moves anteriorly & inferiorly, coccyx moves posteriorly  
🗑
counternutation   aka: sacral extension; base (top) of sacrum moves posteriorly & superiorly, coccyx moves anteriorly  
🗑
Does the PELVIC INLET become larger during nutation or counternutation?   counternutation  
🗑
Does the PELVIC OUTLET become larger during nutation or counternutation?   nutation  
🗑
What motions must happen to allow for nutation?   trunk flexion or hip extension  
🗑
What motions must happen to allow for counternutation?   trunk extension or hip flexion  
🗑
Which occurs 1st during childbirth: nutation or counternutation?   early labor = counternutation / later stages of labor = nutation  
🗑
How many fused vertebrae make up the sacrum?   5  
🗑
Is the anterior surface (or pelvic surface)of the sacrum convex or concave?   concave  
🗑
What is the name of the ridge projecting along the anterior edge of the body of S1 on the sacrum?   promontory  
🗑
What is the name of the lateral flared wings of the sacrum that are actually fused transverse processes?   ala  
🗑
Name the bony landmark that is shaped similar to the external ear & is located on the lateral surface of the sacrum.   auricular surface  
🗑
What is the superior surface of S1 called?   the BASE of the sacrum  
🗑
What bony landmark serves as an exit for the anterior & posterior divisions of sacral nerves?   foramina  
🗑
Where is the superior articular process of the sacrum located?   posteriorly on base; articulates with inferior articular process of L5  
🗑
What part of the hip bone does the ilium make up?   the superior part of the hip  
🗑
iliac tuberosity   large, roughened area, posterior, between iliac crest & articular surface (where interosseous ligament attaches)  
🗑
auricular surface of the ilium   earlike shape, where ilium articulates with sacrum  
🗑
iliac crest   superior ridge of ilium  
🗑
Posterior Superior Iliac Spine (PSIS)   posterior projection of iliac crest, where posterior sacroiliac ligaments attach  
🗑
Posterior Inferior Iliac Spine (PIIS)   inferior to PSIS, where sacrotuberous ligament attaches  
🗑
greater sciatic notch   formed by ilium superiorly & the ilium & ischium inferiorly  
🗑
greater sciatic foramen   sciatic nerve passes through this opening  
🗑
ischium   inferior to ilium & posterior to pubis  
🗑
ischial body   all of ischium that is superior to ischial tuberosity  
🗑
lesser sciatic notch   inferior to greater sciatic notch; just below ischial spine, but above the ischial tuberosity  
🗑
ischial spine   between greater & lesser sciatic notches; provides attachment for sacrospinous ligament  
🗑
ischial tuberosity   blunt, rough projection on the inferior part of the body; bears weight while sitting  
🗑
Why does the sacroiliac joint have so many ligaments?   to absorb lots of stress while providing great stability  
🗑
pubic symphysis joint   fibrocartilage disk at midline between right & left pubic bones (amphiarthrodial joint = little movement)  
🗑
Where is the pubis located in the hip?   inferior to ilium, anterior to ischium  
🗑
pubic body   between superior & inferior rami  
🗑
pubic tubercle   projection anteriorly off superior pubic ramus, where superior pubic ligament attaches  
🗑
superior pubic rami   superior projection of pubic body  
🗑

🗑
