  2. Gluteal lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteal_lines

    The anterior gluteal line is the middle curved gluteal line on the hip bone. It is the longest of the three gluteal lines, begins at the iliac crest, about 4 cm. behind its anterior extremity, and, taking a curved direction downward and backward, ends at the upper part of the greater sciatic notch.

  3. Wing of ilium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_of_ilium

    The space between the anterior and posterior gluteal lines and the crest is concave, and gives origin to the gluteus medius. Near the middle of this line a nutrient foramen is often seen. The inferior gluteal line (inferior curved line), the least distinct of the three, begins in front at the notch on the anterior border, and, curving backward ...

  4. Hip bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_bone

    The gluteus medius muscle: originates on the outer surface of the ilium between the iliac crest and the posterior gluteal line above, and the anterior gluteal line below. The gluteus medius also originates from the gluteal aponeurosis that covers its outer surface. Gluteus minimus muscle originates between the anterior and inferior gluteal ...

  5. Gluteal muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteal_muscles

    The gluteus medius is a broad, thick, radiating muscle, situated on the outer surface of the pelvis. It lies profound to the gluteus maximus and its posterior third is covered by the gluteus maximus, its anterior two-thirds by the gluteal aponeurosis, which separates it from the superficial fascia and skin. The gluteus minimus is the smallest ...

  8. Iliac fossa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliac_fossa

    The iliac fossa is bounded above by the iliac crest, and below by the arcuate line. It is bordered in front and behind by the anterior and posterior borders of the ilium. The iliac fossa gives origin to the iliacus muscle. [1] The obturator nerve passes around the iliac fossa. [2] It is perforated at its inner part by a nutrient canal.

  9. Gluteus minimus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteus_minimus

    From area in between the anterior gluteal line and inferior gluteal line of gluteal surface ilium, under gluteus medius. Insertion: Greater trochanter of the femur: Artery: Superior gluteal artery: Nerve: Superior gluteal nerve (L4, L5, S1 nerve roots) Actions: Works in concert with gluteus medius: abduction of the hip; preventing adduction of ...
