Musculoskeletal
- Describe the layering of the superficial and deep muscles in the gluteal region, the actions, innervation and blood supply of these muscles.
Muscles
- Why is piriformis a useful landmark for identifying neurovascular structures in the gluteal region?
Hamstrings
- What the requirements for a muscle to be a hamstring muscle? Which muscle in the posterior compartment of the thigh does not meet these requirements?
- What type of activity would result in hamstring strain?
- Avulsion of the ischial tuberosity would affect what muscle group and impact what actions of this muscle group?
-
- What bursae are located in the gluteal region and between what structures do they lie?

Neurovasculature
Innervation
Dorsal Rami
- What is the function of the dorsal rami of sacral spinal nerves in the gluteal region? Do they provide motor or sensory innervation?
-
Sacral & Lumbar Plexuses
- List the key branches of the lumbar and sacral plexuses that innervate the lower limb.
-
- How would a sciatic nerve lesion present?
Arterial Supply
Internal illiac
