Many muscles contribute to these movements: The psoas is the primary hip flexor, assisted by the iliacus. The pectineus, the adductors longus, brevis, and magnus, as well as the tensor fasciae latae are also involved in flexion. The gluteus maximus is the main hip extensor, but the inferior portion of the adductor magnus also plays a role.
Anatomical terms of bone. [ edit on Wikidata] The hip bone ( os coxae, innominate bone, pelvic bone [1] or coxal bone) is a large flat bone, constricted in the center and expanded above and below. In some vertebrates (including humans before puberty) it is composed of three parts: the ilium, ischium, and the pubis .
In vertebrate anatomy, the hip, or coxa (pl.: coxae) in medical terminology, refers to either an anatomical region or a joint on the outer (lateral) side of the pelvis.. The hip region is located lateral and anterior to the gluteal region, inferior to the iliac crest, and lateral to the obturator foramen, with muscle tendons and soft tissues overlying the greater trochanter of the femur.
Pubis (bone) In vertebrates, the pubis or pubic bone ( Latin: os pubis) forms the lower and anterior part of each side of the hip bone. The pubis is the most forward-facing ( ventral and anterior) of the three bones that make up the hip bone. The left and right pubic bones are each made up of three sections; a superior ramus, an inferior ramus ...
The anterior superior iliac spine ( ASIS) is a bony projection of the iliac bone, and an important landmark of surface anatomy. It refers to the anterior extremity of the iliac crest of the pelvis. It provides attachment for the inguinal ligament, and the sartorius muscle. [1] The tensor fasciae latae muscle attaches to the lateral aspect of ...
Anatomical terms of muscle. [ edit on Wikidata] The lateral rotator group is a group of six small muscles of the hip which all externally (laterally) rotate the femur in the hip joint. It consists of the following muscles: piriformis, gemellus superior, obturator internus, gemellus inferior, quadratus femoris and the obturator externus. [1]
16579. Anatomical terms of bone. [ edit on Wikidata] The acetabulum ( / ˌæsɪˈtæbjələm /; [1] pl.: acetabula ), also called the cotyloid cavity, is a concave surface of the pelvis. The head of the femur meets with the pelvis at the acetabulum, forming the hip joint. [2] [3]
16592. Anatomical terms of bone. [ edit on Wikidata] The ischium ( / ˈɪski.əm /; [1] pl.: ischia) forms the lower and back region of the hip bone ( os coxae ). Situated below the ilium and behind the pubis, it is one of three regions whose fusion creates the coxal bone. The superior portion of this region forms approximately one-third of the ...
