Clinical Human Anatomy - Hip, Pelvis,
Sacrum
1. The pelvis is formed by pairs of three fused bones and joined anteriorly
by which of the following?: Pubic Symphysis
2. What is the ligament that originates off of the ASIS and inserts at the
pubic symphysis?: Inguinal Ligament
3. What is the Y-shaped ligament of the hip that originates from the
anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS)?: Iliofemoral Ligament
4. Which external hip rotator is often involved in the compression of the
sciatic nerve?: Piriformis
5. Which statement is true of the femoral triangle?: The lymph nodes are
located within the triangle
6. What position should be used when wanting to manual muscle test the
gluteus maximus but not the hamstrings?: Hip extension and 90° of knee
flexion
7. When measuring hip abduction and adduction, the distal arm
(movement arm) is placed parallel to the midline of the body.: False
8. The anterior fibers of the iliofemoral ligament function to limit
hyperexten- sion of the hip.: True
9. Which muscle is the primary hip flexor with the knee extended?: Iliopsoas
10.What is the name for the angle of inclination between the head and
neck of the femur, that is greater than 135 degrees?: Coxa Valga
11.Which of the following muscles originates at S1-S4 and
sacrotuberous ligament, inserts at the greater trochanter, and
contributes to hip external rotation?: Piriformis
12. Select all that apply:
Which of the following muscles contribute to Anteroposterior tilting of
the pelvis?: - Gluteus Maximus
- Hamstrings
- Iliopsoas
13.Hip abduction has a soft end-feel (soft tissue approximation): False
14.Pelvic Girdle: boney ring composed of the sacrum, right, and left
hip bones joined anteriorly at the pubic symphysis
15.7 bones form the pelvis: - 2 Ischial
- 2 Pubic
- 2 Ilial bones form each half
- posterior border formed by the sacrum
