Origin of Psoas Major
anterolateral surface of bodies and TPs of T12-L5 and intervertebral discs
Insertion of psoas major
LT? lateral trochanter of femur
Innervation of psoas major
Branches from lumbar
Plexus
Origin of Iliacus
Iliac fossa
Insertion of iliacus
LT of femur
Action of iliacus
Flexes the hip laterally rotate the thigh
Innervation of iliacus

Action of the biceps femoris
Extension at hip and flexion at the knee, Laterally rotate leg at the knee
Innervation of the biceps femoris
Sciatic n (tibial and common peroneal n)
Origin of the short head of the biceps femoris
Linea aspera and upper lateral supracondylar line of femur
