Anatomy Lecture 12: Anterior & Medial thigh muscles & asynch Flashcards
Deep fascia of the thigh:
Fascia late divided into three compartments:
-Anterior (extensor) compartment
-Medial (adductor) compartment
-Posterior (flexor) compartment
Psoas Major:
O: Bodies of TPs of L1-L5
I: lesser trochanter of femur
A:
1) flex of hip
2) lat. rotation of thigh
3) flex of trunk
4) lat. flex of trunk
5) Anterior tilt of pelvis
N: Lumbar plexus (L1,2,3)
Iliacus:
O: iliac fossa, sacral ala
I: Lesser trochanter of femur
A:
1) flex of thigh
2) lat. rotation of thigh
3) Anterior tilt of pelvis
N: Femoral nerve
Muscle contracture of this muscle and its role on lumbar hyper lordosis:
Psoas Major
Muscles of the anterior (extensor) compartment:
Sartorius
Quadriceps femoris:
-Rectus femoris
-Vastus lateralis
-Vastus medialis
-Vastus intermedius
Sartorius:
O: anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)
I: Proximal part of medial surface of shaft of tibia (forms pes anserine tendon)
A:
1) Flex @ hip & knee
2) abd @ hip
3) lat. rot. @ hip
5) med. rot. @ knee
N: Femoral N.
Rectus femoris:
O:
-Anterior head: AIIS (straight)
-Post. head: Groove above the brim of acetabulum (reflected)
I: Base of patella via the quadriceps tendon & then to tibial tuberosity via the patellar ligament (tendon)
A:
1) Ext @ knee
2) Flex @ thigh
N: Femoral nerve
Vastus Lateralis:
O:
-intertrochanteric line
-Gluteal tuberosity
-Lateral lip of linea aspera
I: Lateral border of patella via quadriceps tendon and then to tibial tuberosity via patellar ligament (tendon)
A: Ext. @ knee
N: Femoral N.
Vastus medialis:
O:
-Intertrochanteric line
-Medial lip of linea aspera
-Medial supracondylar line
I: medial border of patella via quadriceps tendon and then to tibial tuberosity via patellar tendon
A: Ext. @ knee
I: Femoral N.
Vastus Intermedius:
O: Anterior & lateral surfaces of body of femur
I: base of patella via quadriceps tendon and tibial tuberosity via patellar tendon
A: Ext @ knee
N: Femoral N.
Articularis genus:
O: anterior surface of lower part of the body of femur
I: upper part of the capsule and synovial membrane of the knee joint
A: It elevates the capsule and the synovial membrane of the knee joint and prevents them from being pinched during extension of the leg.
Medial compartment of thigh muscles:
Pectineus
Adductor longus
Adductor brevis
Adductor magnus
Gracilis
Pectineus:
O: pectineal line of pubis
I: Pectineal line of femur
A: Add & flex @ hip
N: Femoral N.
Adductor longus:
O: anterior surface of pubis
I: Middle part of linea aspera
A: Add., flex., lat. rot. @ hip
N: Obturator N.
Adductor brevis:
O: body & inferior ramus of pubis
I: proximal 1/3 of linea aspera of femur
A: Add., flex., lat. rot. @ hip
N: Obturator N.
Adductor magnus:
O:
Ant head: Ischiopubic ramus (adductor part)
Post. head: Ischial tuberosity (hamstring or ischial part)
I:
Ant. head: (adductor part)
-Linea aspera
-Gluteal tuberosity
-Medial supracondylar line
Post. Head: (hamstring or ischial part)
Adductor tubercle
A: Add. Flex., Ext., Lat. rot. @ hip
N:
Ant. head (pubic): Obturator N.
Post. head (Hamstring or ischial): Tibial N.
Adductor hiatus:
Femoral artery & vein pass through the adductor hiatus of adductor magnus.
