June1 M3-Anatomy LL 3 Flashcards
muscles of the anterior thigh
-quadriceps femoris
-sartorius (above quadriceps)
-iliopsoas (hidder below and medial to sartorius)
(TFL is not considered anterior thigh)
muscles of the medial thigh
layer 1 med to lat: -gracilis -adductor longus -pectineus (hidder lat and below adductor longus) layer 2 med to lat: -adductor magnus hamstring portion -adductor portion -adductor brevis
iliopsoas O, I, N and F
- O: iliac fossa for iliacus and post abd wall for psoas
- I: lesser trochanter of the femur
- N: lumbar plexus
- F: flexes the hip
iliopsoas function in gait
flex the hip in swing leg during foot clearance and tibia vertical phases of swing phase
pes anserinus is what
region in anteromedial surface of proximal tibia
sartorius m. O, I, N and F
- O: ASIS
- I: pes anserinus
- N: femoral n.
- F: HIP = lat rotation, ABDuct, flex. KNEE = medial rotation (of tibia) and flex
muscles allowing lateral rotation of the tibia (turning foot outwards. no eversion, inversion. when knee bent 90 degrees)
semimembranosus and semitendinosus
muscles allowing medial rotation of the tibia (turning foot inwards. no eversion, inversion. when knee bent 90 degrees)
sartorius
4 muscles of quadriceps femoris
- vastus lateralis
- vastus medialis
- rectus femoris
- rectus intermedius
where 4 muscles of quadriceps femoris insert
quadriceps femoris tendon to patella to patellar ligament to tibial tuberosity
function of quadriceps femoris
knee extension
rectus femoris O, I, N and F
- O: AIIS
- I: quadriceps femoris tendon to patella to patellar ligament to tibial tuberosity
- N: femoral n.
- F: extend the knee AND FLEX THE HIP
vastus medialis, intermedius and lateralis O, I, N and F
- O: shaft of the femur (linea aspera in the back)
- I: quadriceps femoris tendon to patella to patellar ligament to tibial tuberosity
- N: femoral n.
- F: extend the knee
function of quadriceps femoris in the gait cycle
flex the hip and extend the knee during tibial vertical phase and foot strike at the end of the swing phase
pectineus m. O, I, N and F
- O: pubis
- I: upper femur (below lesser trochanter)
- N: half obturator n. (for the hip ADDuction fct) and half femoral n. for the hip flexion fct)
- F: ADDuct the femur at the hip + flex the hip
adductor longus O, I, N and F
- O: pubis
- I: posterior surface of the shaft of the femur (like adductor portion of adductor magnus)
- N: obturator n.
- F: adduct the femur
gracilis O, I, N and F
- O: ischium
- I: pes anserinus
- N: obturator n.
- F: adduct the femur and flex the knee. + medial rotation of the tibia (like sartorius)
adductor brevis O, I, N and F
- O: pubis
- I: posterior surface of the shaft of the femur
- N: obturator n.
- F: adduct the femur
adductor magnus (adductor portion) O, I, N and F
- O: ischium and ischial tuberosity
- I: posterior surface of the shaft of the femur
- N: obturator n.
- F: adduct the femur
adductor magnus (hamstring portion) O, I, N and F
- O: ischial tuberosity
- I: adductor tubercle of the femur
- N: tibial n. (like hamstrings)
- F: extend the hip (like hamstrings)
one common function to the muscles of the medial thigh
all adduct the femur (except hamstring portion of adductor magnus)
which muscles of the medial thigh flex the hip
pectineus
