Anterior Thigh Flashcards
Pectineus Origin
Superior ramus of pubis
Pectineus Insertion
pectineal line of femur
Pectineus Innervation
Femoral Nerve (L2,L3)
Pectineus Action
Adducts and flexes the hip; assists in medial rotation
Sartorius Origin
Anterior Superior Iliac Spine
Sartorius Insertion
Superior Part of medial surface of tibia
Sartorius Innervation
Femoral Nerve (L2,L3)
Sartorius Action
Flexes, abducts, laterally rotates the hip; flexes hip joint
Sartorius Arterial Supply
Femoral artery
Pectineus Arterial Supply
Medial circumflex femoral and obturator arteries
Psoas Major Origin
sides of T12 – L5 vertebrae and discs between them; transverse processes of all lumbar vertebrae
Psoas Major Insertion
lesser trochanter of femur
Psoas Major Innervation
ventral rami of lumbar nerves (L1, L2, L3)
Psoas Major Action
acting with the iliacus it flexes the hip joint and stabilizes the joint; a postural muscle the helps control deviation of the truck and is active during standing
Psoas Major Arterial Supply
Lumbar arteries, lumbar branch of the iliolumbar artery, obturator, external iliac, and femoral arteries
Iliacus Origin
iliac crest, iliac fossa, ala of sacrum, and anterior sacroiliac ligaments
Iliacus Insertion
tendon of psoas major, lesser trochanter of femur
Iliacus Innervation
Femoral nerve (L2, L3)
Iliacus Action
acting with the psoas major it flexes the hip joint and stabilizes the joint
Iliacus Arterial Supply
Iliac branch of the iliolumbar artery, deep circumflex iliac, obturator, and femoral arteries
