Question 1 – hip bone

4. With regard to ligaments around the hip bone
1 The sacrospinous ligament separates the greater and lesser
sciatic foramina from each other
2 The pubofemoral ligament is an inverted Y-shaped ligament
3 The ligamentum teres is tensed when the hip is abducted
4 The inguinal ligament attaches to the anterior superior iliac
spine
5 The sacrospinous ligament attaches to the ischial tuberosity
The iliofemoral ligament is a very strong ligament in the shape of an
inverted Y.
The ligamentum teres is relaxed when the hip is abducted.
The sacrospinous ligament attaches to the ischial spine not the ischial
tuberosity!

piriformis.
The obturator nerve exits through the obturator foramen.
Question 5 - hip bone

1 Is the iliac spine F
2 Is the ischial tuberosity F
3 Provides attachment for the sacrospinous
ligament
T
4 Provides attachment for the superior gemellus T
5 Provides attachment for semitendinosus F
This is the ischial spine. Superior gemellus
attaches to the outer surface of the ischial spine.
The semitendinosus attaches to the ischial
tuberosity
Question 6 - hip bone

1 Adductor magnus T
2 Semimembranosus T
3 Semitendinosus T
4 Biceps femoris T
5 Quadratus femoris T
This is the ischial tuberosity. It gives
attachment to all the hamstrings.
Question 7 - hip bone
outer aspect of right hip bone

16. The muscles that attach to the highlighted
region of bone are:
1 The hamstrings
2 Supplied by the tibial portion of the
sciatic nerve
3 Flexors of the hip joint
4 The quadriceps
5 All inserted onto the tibia
Question 8 - hip bone

17. The muscles that attach to the highlighted
region of bone are:
1 The hamstrings T
2 Supplied by the tibial portion of the
sciatic nerve
T
3 Flexors of the hip joint F
4 The quadriceps F
5 All inserted onto the tibia F
The highlighted region is the ischial tuberosity. The hamstring muscles
semimembranosus, semitendinosus, long head of biceps femoris and the
hamstring portion of adductor magnus originate from here.
All these muscles are supplied by the tibial portion of the sciatic nerve and they all
extend the hip joint.
Adductor magnus inserts onto the femur and biceps femoris inserts onto the
fibula.
Question 8 - hip bone

3 Is supplied by the superior gluteal
nerve
4 Inserts onto the gluteal tuberosity

on the posterior aspect of the
femoral shaft
F
5 Is easily palpable F
Gluteus minimus originates from here. It
inserts onto the anterior surface of the
greater trochanter and is supplied by the
superior gluteal nerve. It lies beneath
gluteus medius and is therefore not
palpable.
Gluteus maximus inserts onto the gluteal
tuberosity and is supplied by the inferior
gluteal nerve.
