root and dorsal root ganglion)

Describe the hip joint, its function and ligament - ANSWER -acetabulum-
femur
-synovial/ multiaxial/ ball and socket

-rotation
-strong and stable b/c over 1/2 of the head of the femur is in the acetabulum
-acetabular labrum
-post= ischiofemoral ligament
-ant= iliofemoral ligament ("Y" ligament; limits hip extension)
Describe the gluteal muscles and their daily function - ANSWER **Action is
not daily function

abdomen
-L.L. inn= L2-S3
