the feature located between the ischial spine and the ischial tuberosity on the coxal bone is the ___________ _________ _________. nerves from the lumbosacral plexus as weel as blood vessels pass through this notch lesser sciatic notch
openings on the sacrum called ___________ _____________ provide passageways for nerves and blood vessels. there are four of these openings on each side of the sacrum. sacral foramina
by definition all synovial are diarthroric and have a wide range of motion. _______ joints, including the joints between the sacrum and coxal bones, however, have limited sliding motions. plane
the large muscle of the posterior hip that originates on the ilium, sacrum, and coccyx and acts to extends the leg at the hip and rotate the thigh laterally is the _________ _________. gluteus maximus
the muscle of the posterior region of the upper leg that originates on ischial tuberosity and the linea aspera of the femur and acts to flex the lower leg and extend the upper leg is the _________ __________ biceps femoris
the muscle on the lateral side of the leg that inserts by means of a long tendon (the fascia of the iliotibial tract) on to the lateral surface of the tibia is the ___________ ___________ __________ tensor fascial latae
a knob-like process is usually larger than a tubercle is called a ____________. on the ischium, this feature serves as the origin for the semimembranosus and semitendinosus muscles tuberosity
the muscle group of the medial region of the upper leg that orginates on the pubis and ischium and inserts on to the linea aspera if the femur is the ________ group adductor
the muscle of the posterior region of the upper leg that inserts on to the medial sondyle of the tibia and acts to extend the upper leg and rotate the thigh medially is the ___________ semimembranosus
the long muscle of the leg that originates ont he anterior superior iliac spine and inserts on to the medial surface of the tibia is the ____________ sartorius
the vertebral foramina of the fused sacral vertebrae from the ___________ ____________ sacral canal
when classifying bones based on shape, the innominate bone is classified as a __________ bone. flat

a tiny pit or depression in a bone is called a ___________. an example of this feature on the femur is called the ________ _________ and serves as an attachment site for ligaments. fovea; fovea capitis
the joint between the acetabulum and the head of the femur is an example of a specific type of synovial joint called a ________ ____ ________ joint. movement in all planes, including rotaion, is possible at this tyoe of joint. ball and socket
the muscle of the medial region of the upper leg that originates on the pubis below the symphysis and acts to adduct the thigh is the ___________ gracillis
the muscle of the posterior region of the upper leg that inserts on to the medial surface of the tibia and acts to extend the upper leg is the ___________ semitendinosus
the muscle that originates on the iliac fossa that acts to flex the thigh is the ____________ illiacus
the superior articular facets of the sarcum articular with the ________ ________ _______ of the fifth lumbar vertebrae to form a plane joint inferior articular facets
a narrow ridge on a bone is called a ________. an example of this feature on the femur is called the ________ _________ and serves as an attachment site for muscles that adduct the thigh linea; linea aspera
the pubis bones from a __________ type of cartilaginous joint. based on its degree of movement, this is a type of ________________ joint symphysis; amphiarthrotic
when the lumbar vertebrae acts as the origin instead of the insertion, the ______ ________ muscle acts to flex teh thigh instead of the ttrunk psoas major
ORIGIN- pubis and pubic symphysis, ischial tuberosity INSERTION- linea aspera and posterior surface of femur ACTION- adducts, flexes, extends thigh; rotates thigh laterally adductor group
ORIGIN- ischial tuberosity, linea aspera of femur INSERTION- head of fibula, lateral condyle of tibia ACTION- extends thigh, rotates thigh laterally biceps femoris
ORIGIN- sacrum, coccyx, posterior surface of ilium INSERTION- gluteal tuberoscity of femur and iliotibial band ACTION- extends thigh at hip, rotates thigh laterally gluteus medius
ORIGIN- lateral surface of ilium INSERTION- greater trochanter of femur ACTION- abducts thigh, rotates thigh medially gluteus medius
ORIGIN- lateral surface of ilium INSERTION- greater trochanter of femur ACTION- abducts thigh, rotates thigh medially gluteus minimus
ORIGIN- lower edge of pubic symphysis INSERTION- medial surface of tibia ACTION- adducts gracilis
ORIGIN- iliac fossa INSERTION- lesser trochanter of femur ACTION- flexes thigh iliacus
ORIGIN- transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae INSERTION- lesser trochanter of femur ACTION- flexes thigh * psoas major
ORIGIN- anterior inferior iliac spine, margin of acetabulum INSERTION- tibial tuberosity (via patellar tendon, patella, and patellar ligament) ACTION- flexes thigh rectus femoris
ORIGIN- anterior superior iliac spine INSERTION- medial surface of tibia ACTION- extends thogh; rotates thigh medially sartorius
ORIGUN- ischial tuberosity INSERTION- medial condyle of tibia ACTION- extends thigh; rotates thigh medially semimembranosus
*when the lumbar vertebrae serves as the origin of this muscle, it acts to flex the thigh; in this case this muscle can be grouped with the iliacus muscle to form the iliopsoas group psoas major
ORIGIN- ischial tuberosity INSERTION- medial surface of tibia distal to medial condyle ACTION- extends thigh; rotates thigh medially semitendinosus
ORIGIN- anterior surface of iliac crest INSERTION- lateral (via fascia of iliotibial band) ACTION- abducts, flexes thigh; rotates thigh medially tensor fasciae latae

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
