| Question | Answer |
| anterior inferior iliac spine | locate the asis slide inferiorly and medially approximately one inch |
| gluteal tuberosity | located distal to the posterior surface of the greater trochanter |
| coccyx | is located at the top of the gluteal cleft and attaches to the end of the sacrum |
| greater trochanter | located distal to the iliact crest, the greater trochanter is the large, superficial mass located on the side of the hip(lateral tip of the femur) |
| inferior ramus of the pubis and the ramus of the ishium | are located along the inferior aspect of the pelvis and togehter for a bridge between the pubic crest and the ischial tuberosity |
| sacrum | under the psis |
| another way of locating the psis | in most people it is much more visible they are called dimples on the lower back |
| iliac crest | locate the asis, slowly walk ur fingers around the side of your hip , pressing into the wide edge of the crest. note how the crest rises from the asis and soon after may widen laterally |
| meidal lip of linea aspera | lateral of the pectineal line of the femur(insertion of the adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus) |
| anterior superior iliac spine(asis) | locate both asis by placing your hands upon your hips with fingures in front, thumbs behind. feel for the tip of the pelvis that sticks out anteriorly. |
| superior ramus of pubis | locate the pubic crest slide laterally off the crest toward the aiis |
| porterior superior iliac spine(psis) | follow the iliac crest as it continues around to the posterior side of the body and ends in the psis |
| pectineal line of femur | medial of the femur(insertions of the pectineus) |
| pubic crest | one to two inches above the genitals |
| ischial tuberosity | "sits bones" |
| iliotibial tract | gluteus max insertion |
| iliac fossa | the bowl shaped iliac fossa is located on the medial surface of the ilium |
