insertion - intertrochanteric crest of the femur
what is the function, origin and insertion of the sartorius
function- hip/thigh/kneee movement eg flexion abduction, ER
origin - anterior superior iliac spine
insertion - medial surface of superior shaft of tibia via a common tendon of the pes anserinus
what is the function, origin and insertion of the rectus femoris
function - flexion of hip/extension of kneee
origin - anterior inferior iliac spine, and a groove superior to the acetabelum
insertion - common tendon of the quadriceps enclosing the patella and inserting on the tibial tuberosity
what is the function, origin and insertion of the vastus lateralis
function extension of leg at knee joint
origin - greater trochanter and upper lateral surface of the linea aspera
insertion - patella via the quadricep tendon; tibial tuberosity via the patellar ligament
what is the function, origin and insertion of the vastus intermedius
function - extension of leg at the knee
origin - upper two thirds of the anterior and lateral surfaces of the femur
insertion - common tendon of the quadriceps enclosing the patella and inserting on the tibial tuberosity
what is the function, origin and insertion of the vastus medialis
function extension of leg at the knee joint
origin - intertrochanteric line and medial lip of linea aspera
insertion - patella via the quadricep tendon; tibial tuberosity via the pateller ligament
what is the function, origin and insertion of the biceps femoris long head
function: assists movement of hip/thigh, flexion, ER
origin - ischial tuberosity
insertion -lateral surface of the head of the fibula
what is the function, origin and insertion of the biceps femoris short head
function - assists in movement of hip/thigh/knee and lower leg, eg flexion, ER
origin - linea aspera of the femur
insertion - lateral surface of the head of the fibula
what is the function, origin and insertion of the semitendinosus
