Pnerves6   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) The lateral thigh muscles, which include the superficial gluteal muscle (A), the middle gluteal muscle (B) and the underlying deep gluteal muscle (not shown), and the tensor fasciae lata muscle (C) are innervated by the gluteal nerves. The middle gluteal muscle, deep gluteal muscle, and the tensor fasciae lata muscle are innervated by the cranial gluteal nerve. The gluteal muscles, as a whole, act to abduct and extend the hip. www.vetmed.wsu.edu /Van308/pnerves6.htm   (155 words)

Gluteus maximus muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The gluteus maximus, the most superficial muscle in the gluteal region, is a broad and thick fleshy mass of a quadrilateral shape, and forms the prominence of the nates. The muscle is remarkably coarse in structure, being made up of fasciculi lying parallel with one another and collected together into large bundles separated by fibrous septa. One of these, of large size, and generally multilocular, separates it from the greater trochanter; a second, often wanting, is situated on the tuberosity of the ischium; a third is found between the tendon of the muscle and that of the vastus lateralis. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Gluteus_maximus   (376 words)

Gazi Tıp Fakültesi - Gazi Medical Journal The gluteal muscles consist of the large glutei (maximus, medius and minimus), which are mainly extensors and abductors of the thigh at the hip joint. The left accessory gluteal muscle began from the sacrotuberous ligament and dorsolateral aspect of the sacrum, extended caudally, dorsally and medially in a rectangular shape crossing quadratus femoris muscle, and joined the iliotibial tract. The right accessory gluteal muscle arose from the lower fibers of the gluteus maximus muscle, medial to the sacrotuberous ligament as a single bundle, and extended caudally and laterally close to the point of insertion as two different bundles. www.med.gazi.edu.tr /gmj/anaccessory.html   (822 words)

eMedicine - Pressure Ulcers, Surgical Treatment and Principles : Article by Bradon J Wilhelmi, MD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) The gluteal thigh flap may be raised to include the inferior portion of the gluteus maximus muscle, which increases the arc of rotation and also allows this flap to be used to reconstruct sacral defects (see Image 6). The superior and inferior gluteal arteries branch from the internal iliac artery superior and inferior to the piriformis muscle approximately 5 cm from the medial edge of the origin of the gluteus maximus muscle from the sacrococcygeal line (from the PSIS to the coccyx; see Image 11). The gluteal thigh rotation flap is raised as a fasciocutaneous flap superiorly to the gluteal crease. www.emedicine.com /plastic/topic462.htm   (6433 words)

[No title] At a prehearing conference, it was agreed that the issue for consideration was error in the evaluation of the gluteal wounds by the 1952 rating decision. It is asserted that the veteran had through-and-through wounds of the gluteal muscles on each side which under governing regulations was, at least, moderate in degree and warranted a minimum 20 percent evaluation. Since the evidence of record at the time of the October 1952 rating decision did not clearly demonstrate that the veteran had through-and-through wounds or moderate damage of the gluteal muscles, we conclude that the October 1952 rating decision was not clearly and unmistakably erroneous. www.va.gov /vetapp/files1/9404412.txt   (958 words)

anabolicforum.com Needle Tid Bits   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Muscles in these areas, especially the gluteal muscles in the buttock, are fairly thick. Because of the large number of muscle fibers and extensive fascia, (fascia is a type of connective tissue that surrounds and separates muscles) the drug has a large surface area for absorption. For example, during a Biceps curl, the muscles of the shoulder and upper back serve to stabilize the humerus during the curl yet have no direct effect on the curl itself. anabolicforum.com /needles.htm   (1779 words)

Modifications of Butock Augmentation The plane of dissection is developed between the gluteal maximus and the gluteal medius to avoid the sciatic nerve. After having the prosthesis placed over the gluteus maximus muscle by another physician, one patient with a very thin fat pad was displeased because the margins of the prosthesis were noticeable thought the skin, and there was sagging. Although the implants are placed under the gluteus maximus muscle, if the inferior portion of the gluteus maximus muscle, if the inferior protiuon of the implant is lateral to the midline of the buttock, there should be no problem of sciatic nreve irritation. www.drchugay.com /news8.html   (1952 words)

New York School Of Regional Anesthesia - Sciatic Nerve Block: Posterior Approach In the upper part of its course, the sciatic nerve is situated deep in the major gluteal muscle, and rests first on the posterior surface of the ischium. The nerve crosses the external rotators, obturator internus gemelli muscle, and then passes on to the quadratus femoris, by which it is separated from the obturator externus and the hip joint. Twitches of the hamstrings are equally acceptable because this approach blocks the nerve proximal to the separation of the neuronal branches to the hamstrings muscle. www.nysora.com /techniques/intermediate/sciatic_post/sciatic_post.html   (2630 words)

Overexpression of Hexokinase II in Transgenic Mice. EVIDENCE THAT INCREASED PHOSPHORYLATION AUGMENTS MUSCLE GLUCOSE ... Although the functional consequences of muscle HKII compartmentation are incompletely understood, we found that the relative abundance of HKII in mitochondrial (60%) and cytosolic (40%) skeletal muscle (gluteal) fractions was similar in transgenic versus nontransgenic mice. Given that muscle glycogen levels were not significantly increased in transgenic mice, we attempted to accentuate potential differences by using conditions that were designed to result in elevated muscle glucose flux, which reportedly also increase muscle G6P by 60-70% (29). Finally, it is possible that removal of the muscles for incubation, particularly in the case of the soleus and epitrochlearis, may have caused partial activation of the glucose transport system (via a contraction-stimulated mechanism) with a shift toward glucose phosphorylation as the rate-limiting step. www.jbc.org /cgi/content/full/271/25/14834   (5449 words)

hip,thighmm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Both the cranial belly of the sartorius muscle and the tensor fasciae lata muscle flex the hip and extend the stifle. The superficial gluteal muscle is equivilent to the gluteus maximus of man. Most of the caudolateral portion of the thigh consists of the biceps femoris muscle (F). The middle and superficial gluteal muscles are innervated by the cranial and caudal gluteal nerves, respectively, and both of these muscles act to abduct and extend the hip. www.vetmed.wsu.edu /VAn308/hip,thighmm.htm   (235 words)

BUTT CRAMPS 101 The piriformis is a muscle attaching the outside of the hip to the sacrum, at the bottom of your spine. One common location for a muscle cramp is in the calf: it’s often called a “charley horse.” This is easy to treat: you grab your calf and start massaging it, and stretch it out by flexing and pulling your foot upwards. The gluteal is a big, thick muscle, so it’s difficult to feel a cramped piriformis since it’s got several inches of gluteal meat on top of it. www.docflash.com /piriformis.html   (740 words)

Various Approaches for CT-guided Percutaneous Biopsy of Deep Pelvic Lesions: Anatomic and Technical Considerations -- ... The gluteal muscles lie posterior to the innominate bones. Prone CT scan shows a needle (arrowhead) that traverses the piriform muscle (prf) adjacent to the sacrum (sa) and medial to the internal iliac vessel branches (arrows) for biopsy of an adnexal mass (m). gluteal vessels, and branches of the sacral plexus. radiographics.rsnajnls.org /cgi/content/full/24/1/175   (7675 words)

765 Recently, a gluteal perforator-based island flap has been found to be useful because of its good vascularity, easy elevation and greater flexibility. The subcutaneous tissue is dissected from gluteal muscle carefully till the pulsation of the several perforators was observed (Fig 1). After the identification of the perforators, the flap is elevated from the distal side at the layer of beneath the fascia of the gluteal muscle. www.plasticsurgery.org /PSF/PSFHOME/educate/abstracts/Posters/765.htm   (522 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) Stability of the hip joint is further increased by the muscles that attach the proximal femur to the pelvis. Retraction of the abductor and gracilis muscles caudally and the femoral artery and vein cranially exposes the iliopsoas muscle and deep femoral artery and vein on its surface. The rest of the dissection is done bluntly with the retraction of the gluteal muscles dorsally, the rectus femoris and tensor fasciae latae cranially, and distal retraction of the lateral circumflex femoral artery. cal.vet.upenn.edu /saortho/chapter_28/28mast.htm   (6763 words)

Clinical Signs Focal muscle atrophy may be evident anywhere, but the gluteal muscles appear to be over represented. This is probably because muscle atrophy of the gluteal muscles is much easier to detect than atrophy of other muscle groups. These signs may include damage to muscles, tendons or ligaments that have their nerve supply damaged, injury that results from ataxia, or behavioral problems resulting from discomfort from the neurologic disease. ourworld.compuserve.com /homepages/drfenger/Clinsign.htm   (1807 words)

Skeletal Skeletal muscles are striated muscles that are under voluntary control of the organism. Making up the large muscles masses, they are attached to the bones of the body and are utilized for locomotion and other movements. The nuclei of these muscles are located just under the plasma membrane, which vacates the central part of the muscle fiber for myofibrils. www.websters-online-dictionary.com /definition/english/Sk/Skeletal.html   (1294 words)

Indian Pediatrics - Editorial It is a triangular muscle that originates from the lateral one third of the clavicle, the acromian and the scapular spine and converges into the deltoid tuberosity near middle of the humerus. This muscle has a large mass, is well developed in young children and adults and is relatively free from major nerves and vessels. The clinician uses his non dominant hand to bunch the muscle and direct the needle inferiorly along the long axis of leg at an angle appropriate to reach the muscle, usually 45º. www.indianpediatrics.net /sep2003/sep-835-845.htm   (3897 words)

Piriformis Syndrome Piriformis syndrome is an irritation of the piriformis muscle caused by a compression of the sciatic nerve as it passes through this muscle, which is located deep in the pelvic and buttocks region. The sciatic nerve is the principle nerve bundle emanating from the lower lumbar and sacral vertebrae of the spine. Lying beneath the larger gluteus maximus muscle and above several smaller hip rotator muscles, the piriformis muscle connects the sacral vertebrae to the femur (hip bone) and acts as an external rotator of the hip when contracted. www.sportspti.com /e_topics13.htm   (963 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) (18) The dorsal approach has the disadvantage of probable transection of the cranial gluteal artery and nerve during elevation and retraction of the middle gluteal muscle ventrally. The lateral approach utilizes an incision between the fascia lata muscle, and the middle gluteal muscle. The acetabulum is difficult to expose owing to the gluteal tendons that cross over it to insert on the femoral greater trochanter. cal.vet.upenn.edu /saortho/chapter_27/27mast.htm   (5189 words)

..:: Estética y Cirugía ::.. This procedure can be used for face, neck, arms, trunk, abdomen, gluteal zone, hips, thighs, knees, calves of the legs, ankles, etc. Liposuction is not a substitute for weight reduction, it is a procedure that eliminates fat deposits, (fat tissue), that diets and exercise have not been able to remove. Prothesis is located beneath the major gluteal muscle, and is not visible. We usually practice, for women, a glutoplasty combined with a liposuction in the lumbar zone and waist, in such a way that the resulting curves at the buttocks are increased in relation to lumbar zone and waist. www.esteticaycirugia.com /paginas/cirugia_corporal_ingles.html   (2383 words)
