Anterior and Medial Thigh Picture Cards

Question 1

Answer 1

anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)

Question 2

Answer 2

Pubic tubercle

Question 3

Answer 3

Inguinal ligament

Question 4

Answer 4

Lesser trochanter

Question 5

Answer 5

Greater trochanter

Question 6

Also name what this thing does.

Answer 6

Linea aspera: Insertion point of adductor muscles.

Question 7

Answer 7

Femoral vein

Question 8

Answer 8

Great saphenous vein

Question 9

Name the muscle, compartment, innervation, and function.

Answer 9

Sartorius muscle. Anterior thigh compartment flexes the hip at the thigh. It also laterally rotates the leg when the leg is extended and medially rotates the thigh when the hip is flexed. Innervated by femoral nerve.

origin is at the ASIS and it inserts in the pez aseunerious

Question 10

Name the muscles, compartment, innervation, and function.

Answer 10

1. Iliacus
2. Psoas major

Anterior thigh muscles flex the leg at the hip, femoral nerve.

Together the Iliacus and psoas major make up the iliopsoas muscle.

In Greek psoa means “muscle of the loins”

Question 11

Name the muscle, compartment, innervation, and function.

Answer 11

pectinius muscle. Can be classified as anterior or medial compartment. Flexes leg at hip and also adducts leg at the hip. Femoral nerve innervation.

origin is in the superior pubic and insertion is in the femur

Question 12

Which two muscles combine to form the iliopsoas at their shared point of insertion?

Answer 12

The psoas major and iliacus.

Question 13

Name the muslce, compartment, innervation, and function.

Answer 13

Rectus femoris. Anterior thigh - one of the quadriceps muscles. Femoral nerve innervation. Extends the leg at the knee. This particular muscle also crosses the hip so it will flex the hip.

origin is in the ASIIS and the insertion is at he quad tendon

Question 14

Name the muscle, compartment, innervation, and function.

Answer 14

Vastus medialis. Anterior thigh compartment, one of the quadriceps muscles. Extends the leg at the knee. Femoral nerve innervation.

origin is at the interchonteric line and insertion is the duad ligament

Question 15

Name the muscle, compartment, innervation, and function.

Answer 15

Vastus lateralis. Anterior thigh compartment - one of the quadriceps muscles. Extends the leg at the knee. Femoral nerve.

origin is at the GT and insertion is the quad ligament

Question 16

Name the muscle, compartment, innervation, and function.

Answer 16

Vastus intermedius. Anterior thigh - one of the quadriceps muscles. Extends the leg at the knee. Femoral nerve.

origin is at the upper femur shaftand insertion is the quad ligament

Question 17

Answer 17

Femoral artery

Question 18

Answer 18

Deep femoral artery

Question 19

Name the muscle, compartment, innervation, function, origin, and insertion.

Answer 19

1. Adductor longus
2. Adductor brevis
3. Adductor magnus - also extends thigh at hip. Superior and middle portions are supplied by the posterior division of the obturator. Inferior portion is supplied by the tibial division of the sciatic nerve.

All are adductors of the medial thigh compartment. All originate on the pelvis along the arch of pubis and insert on the linea aspera. Supplied by obturator nerve (except magnus - inferior portion is supplied by tibial div. of sciatic n.).

Question 20

Name the five adductor muscles of the thigh. Which one is pointed out by the “?” mark? Where does this particular muscle insert?

Answer 20

Gracilis is the one in question. It inserts on the pes anserinus.

Other four are:
Adductor Longus
Adductor Brevis
Adductor Magnus
Obturator Externus

Question 21

Answer 21

Lateral femoral cirumflex artery

Question 22

Answer 22

Medial femoral circumflex artery

Question 23

Answer 23

Inferior gluteal artery

Question 24

Answer 24

Superior gluteal artery

Question 25

Answer 25

Obturator artery

Question 26

Answer 26

1. Iliac fossa
2. Iliac crest
3. Anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)
4. Anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS)
5. Superior ramus of pubis
6. Body of ischium
7. Ramus of ischium
8. Ramis of pubis
9. Intertrochanteric line
