Image: Which bones does the iliolumbar ligament connect?
Which bones does the posterior sacrococcygeal ligament connect?
Sacrum to coccyx

What is the significance of the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments?
These two ligaments create the greater and lesser sciatic foramina by closing the greater and lesser sciatic notches of the ilium

Lateral cutaneous branch of olio-hypogastric
Lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh
Which cutaneous nerves of the gluteal region are derived from dorsal rami?
Superior and middle clunial nerves

Piriformis muscleList the structures that emerge from the pelvic cavity through the greater sciatic foramen, but re-enter the pelvic cavity through the lesser sciatic foramen1. Puedendal nerve 2. Internal pudendal artery and vein 3.Nerve to obturator internusDescribe how the iliac crests remain level when you're standing on one footThe gluteus medius and the minimus both contract on the supported side. The contraction of these muscles pull the iliac blade toward their insertion on the ipsilateral side.Describe the appearance of the Trendelenburg's sign:The dropping of the pelvis on the unsupported side when standing on one legWhich muscles would you expect to be weak with Trendelenburg's sign?Glutues medius and minimusWhich nerve is most likely to be injured in Trendelenburg's sign ?Superior gluteal nerveWhich spinal level is involved in Trendelenburg's sign?L5 mainlyA which vertebral level might a herniated disc cause Trendelenburg's sign?L5What muscles does the superior gluteal artery supply?Gluteus maximus Gluteus medius Gluteus minimus Tensor fascia lata PiriformisWhat muscles does the inferior gluteal arty supply?Gluteus maximus Obturator internus Quadratus femoris Superior gemellus Inferior Gemellus PiriformisWhat spinal levels is the sciatic nerve?L4-S3Where is the trochanteric fossa?
