Extra muscle info Flashcards
anterior muscles of thigh
Iliacus Psoas major Sartorius Rectus femoris Vastus medialis Vastus lateralis Vastus intermedius
All anterior muscles of the anterior thigh innervated by
femoral nerve
iliopsoas innervation
associated with branches of lumbar spinal nerve
All quadriceps ( name them) insert into
Rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius
Insert into tibial tuberosity
medial muscles of thigh
Adductor longus Adductor brevis Adductor magnus Pectineus Gracilis Obturator externus
all muscles of medial thigh innervated by ( some have more than one innervation)
obturator nerve
muscles that have dual innervation
Pectineus
Adductor magnus
biceps femoris
2 joint muscles for anterior and medial thigh
Sartorius Flex hip, external rotate hip flex knee Rectus femoris Flex hip, extend knee Gracilis Adducts hip, flex knee
which medial muscle of thigh is most posterior adductor
adductor magnus
Obturator externus I v obturator internus I
Obturator externus- obturator N ( it is the ONLY lateral rotator innervated by obturator N.– LUMBAR PLEXUS)
Obturator internus- NOT obturator n. ( nerve to obturator interns– VENTRAL RAMI OF SACRAL PLEXUS )
Pectineus innervations ( dual)
pectineous
Anteriorly – femoral
Posteriorly- obturator
Adductor magnus innervation ( dual )
adductor magnus
Anteriorly- obturator (oblique fibers)
Posteriorly – Tibial ( fibers parallel to hamstring)
biceps femoris innervation ( dual)
Biceps femoris
• Long head- tibial
• Short head- common peronneal
The rectus femoris does NOT originate where ( not like the other quads)
Linea aspera
kicking muscles of leg
rectus femoris and iliopsoas
what muscle does the lumbar plexus go through
psoas major
what is odd about obturator externus
innervated by obturator nerve, but it is a LATERAL rotator of hip
when are the abductors of the leg most active
when contralateral side is in swing phase of gait
The lateral rotators of the hip ( w exception of one ) are innervated by ( sacral or lumbar plexus)?
Sacral plexus
Not lumbar plexus like obturator nerve
Name lateral rotators of hip
Piriformis Superior gemellus Obturator internus Inferior gemellus Quadratus femoris Obturator externus * ( odd one – innervated by obturator nerve- LUMBAR PLEXUS, NOT SACRAL PLEXUS LIKE THE OTHERS)
nerve to obturator internus innervates
obturator internus and superior gamellus
nerve to quadratus femoris innervates
quadratus femoris and inferior gamellus
Where does the IT band insert?
Lateral tibial condyle NOT the fibular head
Extra detail about obturator internus
Most tendonous → SG, IG insert to the tendon
Common insertion for most hamstrings
Ischial tuberosity
Name posterior thigh muscles aka hamstrings
Semitendinosus
Semimembranosus
Biceps femoris
All posterior thigh muscles ( except 1) are innervated by?
Tibial portion of the sciatic nerve
Except- short head of biceps femoris→ common peroneal n
Common function of posterior muscles of thigh
Flexion of leg at knee joint
Extension of thigh at hip joint
Is adductor magnus 1J or 2J muscle
1 J
does NOT cross knee
weird info about adductor magnus
Has dual innervation – obturator and tibial
The longitudinal fibers also called hamstring fibers
Creates adductor hiatus
Femoral artery becomes popliteal artery
Popliteal vein becomes femoral vein
What is innervated by obturator nerve (6)
Adductor longus Adductor brevis Adductor magnus Gracilis Pectineus Obturator externus
