Lab Final Muscles Flashcards
Gluteus maximus
ori: iliac crest, posterior gluteal line, and lateral surface of ilium; sacrum, coccyx and thoracolumbar fascia
ins: iliotibial tract and gluteal tuberosity of femur
act: extension and lateral rotation at hip (helps stabilize extended knee) abduction at the hip-superior fibres only
Gluteus medius
ori: anterior iliac crest lateral surface of ilium between posterior and anterior gluteal lines
ins: greater trochanter of femur
act: abduction and medial rotation at hip
Gluteus minimus
ori: lateral surface of ilium between inferior and anterior gluteal lines
ins: greater trochanter of femur
act: abduction and medial rotation at hip
Tensor fasciae latae
ori: iliac crest and lateral surface of anterior superior iliac spine
ins: iliotibial tract
act: abduction and medial rotation at hip; extension and lateral rotation at knee; tenses fasciae late, which laterally supports the knee
Obturator externus
ori: lateral and medial margins of obturator foramen
ins: trochanteric fossa of femur
act: lateral rotation and abduction of hip; help maintain stability and integrity of the hip
Obturator internus
ori: lateral and medial margins of obturator foramen
ins: medial surface of greater trochanter
act: lateral rotation and abduction of hip; help maintain stability and integrity of the hip
Piriformis
ori: anterolateral surface of sacrum
ins: greater trochanter of femur
act: lateral rotation and abduction of hip; help maintain stability and integrity of the hip
Superior gemellus
ori: ischial spine
ins: medial surface of greater trochanter vie tendon of obturator internus
act: lateral rotation and abduction of hip; help maintain stability and integrity of the hip
Inferior gemellus
ori: ischial tuberosity
ins: medial surface of greater trochanter vie tendon of obturator internus
act: lateral rotation and abduction of hip; help maintain stability and integrity of the hip
Quadratus femoris
ori: lateral border of ischial tuberosity
ins: intertrochanteric crest of femur
act: lateral rotation of hip
Adductor brevis
ori: inferior ramus of pubis
ins: linea aspera of femur
act: adduction and flexion at hip
Adductor longus
ori: inferior ramus of pubis, anterior to brevis
ins: linea aspera of femur
act: adduction, flexion, and medial rotation at hip
Adductor magnus
ori: inferior ramus of pubis posterior to adductor braves and ischial tuberosity
ins: linea aspera and adductor tubercle of femur
act: whole muscle produces adduction at the hip; anterior part produces flexion and medial rotation; posterior part produces extension
Pectineus

ins: femur distal to lesser trochanter; tendon fused with that of psoas major
act: flexion at hip and/or lumbar intervertebral joints
Psoas major
ori: anterior surfaces and transverse processes ov vertebrae
ins: lesser trochanter
act: flexion at hip and/or lumbar intervertebral joints
Biceps femoris
ori: ischial tuberosity and linea aspera of femur
ins: head of fibula, lateral condyle of tibia
act: flexion at knee; extension and rotation at hip
