Study Notes
Bony Pelvis Structure
- The sacrotuberous ligament functionally converts the sciatic notch into the greater and lesser sciatic foramina.
Gluteal Muscles
- The gluteal muscles' function is to extend and rotate the femur, as well as to stabilize the pelvis.
Ligaments
- The sacrospinous ligament is located at the inferior border of the iliac crest and serves as a passageway for structures entering and leaving the perineum.
Gluteal Region
- The gluteal region is located at the posterior aspect of the trunk, superior to the thigh.
Supraspinous Ligaments
- The supraspinous ligaments in the bony pelvis function to interconnect the spinous processes of the vertebrae, providing stability and support.
