Lab 7 Flashcards
Iliopsoas- Iliacus and psoas major
Origin: iliacus- iliac fossa and crest, lateral sacrum. Psoas major- transverse process, bodies, and discs of T12 and lumbar vertebrae
Insertion: on or just below lesser trochanter of femur
Action: Flex trunk at hip joint, flex thigh, lateral flextion of vertebral column
Sartorius
Origin: Anterior superior iliac spine
Insertion: by an aproneurosis into medial aspect of proximal tibia
Action: flex, abduct, and laterally rotate thigh, flex leg
Adductors (Magnus, longus, and brevis)
Origin: Magnus- ischial and pubic rami and ischial tuberosity. Longus- pubis near pubic symphysis. Brevis- body and inferior pubic ramus
Insertion: Magnus- linea aspera and adductor tubercle of femur. Longus & brevis- Linea aspera
Action: adducts and medially rotate and flex thigh
Pectineus
Origin: pectineal line of pubis (and superior pubic ramus)
Insertion: inferior from lesser trochanter to linea aspera of femur
Action: adducts, flexes, and medially rotates thigh
Gracilis
Origin: inferior ramus and body of pubis
Insertion: medial surface of tibia just inferior to medial condyle
Action: adducts thigh, flexes and medially rotates leg
Rectus Femoris (Quadriceps femoris)
Origin: anterior inferior iliac spine and superior margin of acetabulum
Insertion: tibial tuberosity and patella
Action: extend leg and flex thigh
Vastus lateralis (Quadriceps femoris)
Origin: greater trochanter, intertrochanteric line, and linea aspera
Insertion: tibial tuberosity and patella
Action: extends leg and stabilize knee
Vastus medialis (Quadriceps femoris)
Origin: linea aspera and intertrochanteric line
Insertion: tibial tuberosity and patella
Action: extend leg and stabilize patella
Vastus intermedius (Quadriceps femoris)
Origin: anterior and lateral surface of femur
Insertion: tibial tuberosity and patella
Action: extend leg
Tensor fascia lata
Origin: anterior aspect of iliac crest, and anterior superior iliac spine
Insertion: illiotibial tract (lateral fascia lata)
Action: steadies trunk
Gluteus Maximus
Origin: dorsal ilium, sacrum, and coccyx
Insertion: gluteal tuberosity of femur and iliotibial tract
Action: powerful thigh extensor
Gluteus medius
Origin: upper lateral surface of ilium
Insertion: greater trochanter of femur
Action: Abducts and medially rotates thigh
Gluteus minimus
Origin: external inferior surface of ilium
Insertion: greater trochanter of femur
Action: abducts and medially rotates thigh
Piriformis
Origin: anterior sacrum, gluteal surface of ilium
Insertion: greater trochanter of femur
Action: laterally rotates thigh, thigh abduction
Superior Gemellus
Origin: ischial spine
Insertion: medial surface of greater trochanter of femur
Action: laterally rotates thigh, thigh abduction
