  • Receives its nerve supply from the nerve to quadratus femoris from the sacral plexus (L4,5,S1).

Piriformis Muscle

  • Inserts into the superior surface of the middle 3 pieces of the sacrum.
  • Receives its nerve supply from the anterior rami of the 2nd sacral spinal nerves.

Gluteus Minimus Muscle

  • Inserts into the gluteal surface of the Ilium between the middle and inferior gluteal lines.
  • Receives its nerve supply from the superior gluteal nerve.

Gluteus Medius Muscle
