|
Pectineus
|
O: Superior ramus of pubis
I: Pectineal line of femur, just inferior to lesser trochanter N: Femoral nerve A: Adducts and flexes thigh; assists with medial rotation of thigh |
|
|
Iliopsoas
Psoas major |
O: Sides of T12-L5 vertebrae and discs between them; transverse process of all lumbar vertebrae
I: Lesser trochanter of femur N: Anterior rami of lumbar nerves A: Flexes thigh at hip joint and in stabilizing the joint |
|
|
Iliopsoas
Psoas minor |
O: Sides of T12-L1 vertebrae and intervertebral discs
I: Pectineal line N: Anterior rami of lumbar nerves A: Flexes thigh at hip joint and in stabilizing the joint |
|
|
Iliopsoas
Illiacus |
O: Anterior superior iliac spine
I: Superior part of medial surface of tibia N: Femoral nerve A: Flexes thigh at hip and joint and in stabilizing this joint |
|
|
Sartorius
|
O: Anterior superior iliac spine
I: Superior part of medial surface of tibia N: Femoral nerve A: Flexes, abducts and laterally rotates thigh at hip joint; flexes leg at knee joint, (medially rotating leg when knee is flexed) |
|
|
Rectus femoris
|
O: Anterior inferior iliac spine and ilium superior to acetabulum
I: quadriceps tendon, tibial tuberosity, and medial and lateral patellar retinacula N: femoral nerve A: Extend leg at knee joint; steadies hip joint and helps iliopsoas flex thigh |
|
|
Vastus lateralis
|
O: Greater trochanter and lateral lip of linea aspera of femur
I: quadriceps tendon, tibial tuberosity, and medial and lateral patellar retinacula N: femoral nerve A: Extend leg at knee joint |
|
|
Vastus medialis
|
O: Intertrochanteric line and medial lip of linea aspera of femur
I: quadriceps tendon, tibial tuberosity, and medial and lateral patellar retinacula N: femoral nerve A: Extend leg at knee joint |
|
|
Vastus intermedius
|
O: Anterior and lateral surfaces of shaft of femur
I: quadriceps tendon, tibial tuberosity, and medial and lateral patellar retinacula N: femoral nerve A: Extend leg a knee joint |
|
|
Adductor longus
|
O: Body of pubis inferior to pubic crest
I: Middle third of linea aspera of femur N: Obturator nerve A: Adducts thigh |
|
|
Adductor brevis
|
O: Body and inferior ramus of pubis
I: Pectineal line and proximal part of linea aspera of femur N: Obturator nerve A: Adducts thigh; to some extent flexes it |
|
|
Adductor magnus
|
O: Adductor part: inferior ramus of pubis, ramus of ischium
Hamstrings part: adductor tubercle of femur I: Adductor part: gluteal tuberosity, linea aspera, medial supracondylar line Hamstring part: adductor tubercle of femur N: Adductor part: obturator nerve Hamstring part: tibial part of sciatic nerve A: Adducts thigh Adductor part: flexes thigh Hamstrings part: extends thigh |
|
|
Gracilis
|
O: Body and inferior ramus of pubis
I: Superior part of medial surface of tibia N: Obturator nerve A: Adducts thigh; flexes leg; helps rotate leg medially |
|
|
Obturator externus
|
O: Margins of obturator foramen and obturator membrane
I: Trochanteric fossa of femur N: Obturator nerve A: Laterally rotates thigh; steadies head of femur in acetabulum |
