I dont think theres such a thing as 'testing' the a.s.i.s... but you can FEEL it, it is the hard angle most anterior to the body that sticks out when people lie on their backs...
it doesnt move so im not really sure what you mean by test...
The iliac crest, anterior superior iliac spine, and posterior superior iliac spine are surface features along the ilium that mark attachment sites for large hip muscles like the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.
The anterior superior iliac spine is located in the pelvic region, at the front of the hip bone (ilium). It serves as an attachment point for various hip and thigh muscles, including the sartorius muscle.
Spondylolyis is a condition where there is an injury (stress fracture or fracture) in the pars interarticularis of the posterior elements of the spine. Spondylolisthesis describes the anterior displacement of a vertebra or the vertebral column in relation to the vertebrae inferior to it. The forward translation of the vertebral body causes narrowing of the central spinal canal at the level of the slip.
Inferior to the heart: Stomach Superior to the heart: Brain Anterior to the heart: Rib cage Posterior to the heart: Spine Latereral to the heart: Lungs
The Larynx is anatomically slightly anterior, or in front of, the esophagus. Larynx ( also called as VOICE BOX ) is anterior to esophagus.
A fracture of the spine.
No the cranium is above the heart so therefore the heart is not superior to the cranium.
The muscle that originates from the anterior inferior iliac spine of the hip and inserts onto the proximal end of the tibia is the sartorius muscle. This muscle is the longest muscle in the body and is responsible for flexing, abducting, and laterally rotating the hip joint, as well as flexing the knee joint.
yes it is possible to fracture your spine.
Ilium - you have one either side of your midline. The continue from the sacrum at the back to the pubis at the front. The uppermost part is called the iliac crest. You can normally feel the Anterior Superior Iliac spine as your front "hip bone" and the Posterior Superior Iliac spine as your rear "hip bone" - they are different parts of the same continuous bone.
No. Anterior means to the front of. The spine is MUCH posterior to the stomach.
Anterior means "front" portion of the body. A crest is a prominent ridge. For example if you will search for a pelvic bone, you will see that the illium has a "crest." This crest is the top ridge of the pelvic bone.
