Lower Extremity Structures Flashcards
Pectineus distal attachment
pectineal line of femur, just inferior to lesser trochanter
Pectineus proximal attachment
superior ramus of pubis
Pectineus Innveration
Femoral nerve (L2,L3) may receive a branch from obturator nerve
Pectineus action
adducts and flexes thigh, assists with medial rotation of thigh
Illipsoas proximal attachment
sides of T12-L5 vertebre and discs between them. Transverse processes of all lumber vertebrae
Illipsoas distal attachment
lesser trochanter of femur
Illipsoas innervation
anterior rami of lumbar nerves (L1,L2,L3)
Illipsoas action
act conjointly in flexing thigh at hip joint and in stabilizing this joint.
Psoas Major proximal attachment
sides of T12-L5 vert. and discs between them; transverse processes of all lumbar vert.
Psoas Major distal attachment
lesser trochanter of femur
Psoas Major innervation
Anterior rami of lumbar nerves (L1,L2,L3)
Psoas Major action
act conjointly in flexing thigh at hip joint and in stabilizing this joint.
Psoas Minor proximal attachment
sides of T12-L1 vert. and intervert. discs
Psoas Minor distal attachment
pectineal line, illiopectineal eminence via illiopectineal arch
Psoas Minor innervation
Anterior rami of lumbar nerves (L1,L2)
Psoas Minor action
act conjointly in flexing thigh at hip joint and in stabilizing this joint
Illiacus proximal attachment
illiac crest, illiac fossa, ala of sacrum, and anterior sacroilliac ligaments
Illiacus distal attachment
tendon of psoas major, lesser trochanter and femur distal to it
Illiacus innervation
Femoral nerve (L2,L3)
Illiacus action
act conjointly in flexing thigh at hip joint and in stabilizing this joint.
Sartorius proximal attachment
anterior superior illiac spine and superior part of notch inferior to it
Sartorius distal attachment
superior part of medial surface of tibia
Sartorius innervation
femoral nerve (L2,L3)
Sartorius action
flexes, abducts, and laterally rotates thigh at hip joint, flexes leg at knee joint
