In some people, the fibres of the gemellus superior extend further than average, and are prolonged onto the medial surface of the greater trochanter of the femur. [1] The superior and inferior gemelli are supplied by the inferior gluteal artery. Nerve supply to the superior gemellus is from the supply to the internal obturator – L5, S1, and ...
The nerve to obturator internus (also known as the obturator internus nerve [citation needed]) is a mixed (sensory and motor) [1] nerve providing motor innervation to the obturator internus muscle and gemellus superior muscle, [2] [1] and sensory innervation to the hip joint. [1] It is a branch of the sacral plexus. It is one of the group of ...
The internal obturator muscle arises from the inner surface of the antero-lateral wall of the pelvis. [1] It surrounds the obturator foramen. [1] [2] It is attached to the inferior pubic ramus and ischium, and at the side to the inner surface of the hip bone below and behind the pelvic brim. [1]
Medial head: popliteal surface of femur; superior to medial condyle: Posterior surface of calcaneus via calcaneal tendon: Tibial nerve (S1, S2) Plantarflexes ankle when knee is extended; raises heel during walking; flexes leg at knee joint Plantaris: Inferior end of lateral supracondylar line of femur; oblique popliteal ligament
The iliotibial tract or iliotibial band (ITB; also known as Maissiat's band or the IT band) is a longitudinal fibrous reinforcement of the fascia lata.The action of the muscles associated with the ITB (tensor fasciae latae and some fibers of gluteus maximus) flex, extend, abduct, and laterally and medially rotate the hip.
They are not innervated with S2 as single origin, but partly by S2 and partly by other spinal nerves. They are most commonly known to govern the toes. The muscles are: sphincter urethrae membranaceae; gluteus maximus muscle; piriformis; obturator internus muscle; superior gemellus; semitendinosus; gastrocnemius; flexor hallucis longus; abductor ...
Superior and inferior gluteal arteries: Nerve: Inferior gluteal nerve (L5, S1 and S2 nerve roots) Actions: External rotation and extension of the hip joint, supports the extended knee through the iliotibial tract, chief antigravity muscle in sitting and abduction of the hip: Antagonist: Iliacus, psoas major and psoas minor: Identifiers; Latin ...
The obturator nerve is the primary nerve supplying this compartment. The obturator artery is the blood supply to the medial thigh. The muscles in the compartment are: gracilis; adductor longus; adductor brevis; adductor magnus; The obturator externus muscle is sometimes considered part of this group, [1] [2] [3] and sometimes excluded.
