Answer 12

green is pectineus
purple is iliopsoas
pink is sartorius

green is vastus intermedius (located inside of rectus femoris)

Question 14

what is the origin, action, insertion, and innervation of iliopsoas

Answer 14

origin- Psoas: T12-L5
Iliacus: Ilium
action - flexion of hip
insertion - lesser trochanter
innervation - Femoral Nerve, Anterior Rami L1-L3

Question 15

what is the origin, action, insertion, and innervation of pectineus

Answer 15

origin - Pubic superior ramus
action - Adduction of hip, Flexion of hip
insertion - Proximal femur
innervation - Femoral Nerve

Question 16

what is the origin, action, insertion, and innervation of sartorius

Answer 16

origin - asis
insertion - tibia
Innervation - Femoral Nerve
action - Lateral rotation of hip, Flexion of hip, Flexion of knee, Hip Abduction

Question 17
