- M. Gluteus medius
- M. Gluteus medius - dors, strongest E
O: crista iliaca and gluteal surface of iliac bone
I: greater trochanter of femur
A: strongest extensor of hip joint
- M. Piriformis
- M. Piriformis - dors, E
O: last sacral and first caudal vertebrae
I: greater trochanter of femur
A: extension of hip joint
- M. Gluteus profundus
- M. Gluteus profundus - dors, E
O: gluteal surface and body of iliac bone
I: greater trochanter of femur
A: extension of hip joint
- M. Biceps femoris
- M. Biceps femoris - Caud, E
O: its cranial part: - On sacrotuberous ligament, Caudal part - On tuber ischiadicum
I: by means of fascia lata and crural fascia to patella, patellar ligament, and tibial tuberosity and tibial crest, tuber calcanei by an accessory tendon
A: extends hip, and hock; its cranial part extends, caudal part flexes stifle
- M. Semitendinosus
- M. Semitendinosus - Caud, E
O: tuber ischiadicum
I: tibial crest (medially),
and tuber calcanei by means of an accessory tendon
A: extends hip, flexes stifle and extends hock
- M. Semimembranosus
- M. Semimembranosus - Caud, E
O: ventral aspect of tuber ischiadicum
I: cranial belly distally on medial lip and
medial condyle of femur,
caudal muscle belly on medial condyle of tibia
(behind medial collateral ligament)
A: extends hip and flexes stifle joint
- M. Gracilis
- M. Gracilis - Med, E
O: symphysis pelvis (by means of tendo symphysialis)
I: medially on tibial crest,
fascia cruris,
tuber calcanei
by an accessory tendon to common calcaneal tendon
A: adducts hindlimb, extends hip, flexes stifle, extends tarsus
- M. Quadratus femoris
- M. Quadratus femoris - Cran, E
M. quadratus femoris
O: ventral surface of tabula ossis ischii
(medial to tuber ischiadicum)
I: trochanteric fossa of femur
A: extension of hip joint and lateral rotation of hindlimb
- M. Tensor Fascia Latae
- M. Tensor Fascia Latae - cran, F
O: tuber coxae (cranial ventral iliac spine and spina alaris)
I: radiates into fascia lata and fascia cruris. Its superficial fascial layer covers thigh, deep fascial layer surrounds m. quadriceps femoris and attaches to femur
A: tenses fascia lata, FLEXES HIP and extends stifle
- M. Sartorius
- M. Sartorius - med, F
In dogs it has a cranial and caudal part.
Origin: iliac crest, cranial ventral iliac spine, thoracolumbar fascia
I: radiating into fascia lata and crural fascia,
- cranial part: inserts above stifle joint,
- caudal part: inserts below stifle joint
(the latter medially reaches tibial crest)
A: FLEXES HIP, extends or flexes stifle
(depending on which part contracts more)
- M. Adductor
- M. Adductor - med, F *****
O:
- m. adductor longus from ramus cranialis ossis pubis,
- m. adductor magnus et brevis are arising from symphysis pelvis (tendo symphysialis),
ramus caudalis ossis pubis and ramus ossis ischi
I: facies aspera and labium laterale of femur
A: adducts hindlimb and EXTENDS HIP
- M. Rectus Femoris
- M. Rectus Femoris - Cran, F
M. quadriceps femoris
O:
1. m. rectus femoris from body of ilium
(area m. recti femoris medialis et lat.),
the three vastus proximally on femur:
2. vastus lateralis from its craniolateral,
3. vastus medialis from its craniomedial and
4. vastus intermedius from its cranial surface
I: patella, and by means of patellar ligament on tibial tuberosity
A: strongest extensor of stifle joint; m. rectus femoris also flexes hip
