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.
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 ...
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 ...
The gluteus maximus arises from the posterior gluteal line of the inner upper ilium, and the rough portion of bone including the crest, immediately above and behind it; from the posterior surface of the lower part of the sacrum and the side of the coccyx; from the aponeurosis of the erector spinae (lumbodorsal fascia), the sacrotuberous ligament, and the fascia covering the gluteus medius.
The gluteal muscles include the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae.They cover the lateral surface of the ilium.The gluteus maximus, which forms most of the muscle of the buttocks, originates primarily on the ilium and sacrum and inserts on the gluteal tuberosity of the femur as well as the iliotibial tract, a tract of strong fibrous tissue that runs ...
The gluteus medius, one of the three gluteal muscles, is a broad, thick, radiating muscle.It is situated on the outer surface of the pelvis.. 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 integument.
The gluteus maximus straightens the leg at the hip; when the leg is flexed at the hip, the gluteus maximus extends it to bring the leg into a straight line with the body. [3] The anus also aligns when the leg is flexed at the hip, making the muscle tighten and the pelvis tilt forward.
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 ...
