Arteries and Veins of Pelvic and Hip

Terms in this set (16)

Arteries that are able to stretch without injury. They're able to accommodate a surge of blood when the heart contract and recoil when the ventricles relax
Elastic Artery
Conduct blood through tissues and allow exchange of bacterials
Capillaries
Conduct blood throughout the heart. It contains one way valves
Veins
The arteries that supplies the hip joints comes from
Lateral Circumflex femoral artery
They are branches of the profundas femoris artery which is off to the deep femoral artery
Lateral Circumflex femoral artery
At the base of the femoral neck they form a ring which arteries arise to supply the hip joint
Lateral Circumflex femoral artery
Responsible for the majority arterial supply
Medial Circumflex Femoral Artery
It has to penetrate through the thick iliofemoral ligament
Lateral Circumflex femoral artery
Damage to this artery can cause a vascular necrosis to the femoral head
Medial Circumflex Femoral Artery
The external iliac artery in the abdomen branches into
the femoral artery to the thigh
Veins located between two capillaries head is known as
Hepatic Portal Vein
It collects blood from capillaries and visceral structures such as the stomach, spleen, intestines
Hepatic Portal Vein
The muscle groups around a joint move together to produce force equal in magnitude and opposite direction. It ensures muscle balance with proper length and strength of each muscle around a joint
Force couples
The most common muscle imbalances are around the
Lumbo-pelvic, hip ratio
Result in flat back. The rectus abdominis, gluteus and hamstrings are shortened and require stretching. The hip flexor and the erector spine are lengthened and will need to be strengthen
Posterior Pelvic Tilt
Chest and but sticking out resulting in an overarching of the low back. The rectus abdominis, gluteus and hamstrings are lengthened and need to be strengthened. The hip flexors and erector spinae are shortened and require stretching
Anterior Pelvic Tilt
