Q

Origin of Rectus Femoris

A

Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine (AIIS)

26
Q

Insertion of Rectus Femoris

A
  • Patella
  • Tibial tuberosity through the patellar ligament
27
Q

Actions of Rectus Femoris

A

Knee extension and Hip flexion

Hip flexion is specific to Rectus Femoris because the muscle crosses the hip

28
Q

Origin of Vastus Medialis (VM)

A

Linea aspera of femur

29
Q

Insertion of Vastus Medialis (VM)

A
  • Patella
  • Tibial Tuberosity via patellar ligament

Patellar ligament is the bone to bone connection of the knee and femur

30
Q

Actions of Vastus Medialis

A

Knee Extension

31
Q

Origin of Vastus Lateralis (VL)

A

Lateral aspect of femur

32
Q

Insertion of Vastus Lateralis (VL)

A

Patella and Tibial tuberosity via patellar ligament

33
Q

Actions of Vastus Lateralis

A

Knee Extension

34
Q

Origin of Vastus Intermedius (VI)

A

Anterior surface of femur

35
Q

Insertion of Vastus Intermedius

A

Patella and Tibial tuberosity via patellar ligament

36
Q

Actions of Vastus Intermedius

A

Knee extension

37
Q

What is the linea aspera

A

Medial-posterior region of the femur

A lot of quadricep and low limb muscles insert onto it

38
Q

What are the adductor muscles of the hip and thigh? What is their purpose

A

Purpose: Allow adduction to occur
* Gracilis
* Pectineus
* Adductor brevis

39
Q

Where can you find the adductor muscles?

A

Medial to the femur & around the pelvic bone to femur region

40
Q

Origin of Gracilis, Pectineus & Adductor Brevis

A

Pubis

41
Q

Origin of Adductor Longus

A

Pubic Crest and Pubic Symphysis

42
Q

Origin of Adductor Magnus

A

Inferior ramus of pubis, ischial tuberosity, ischium

43
Q

Insertions of Gracilis

A

Medial Surface of tibia

44
Q

Insertion of Pectineus

A

Pectineal Line (spiral line) of femur

45
Q

Insertion of Adductor Longus

A

Linea aspera of femur

46
Q

Insertion of Adductor Brevis

A

Linea Aspera of femur

47
Q

Insertion of Adductor Magnus

A

Linea Aspera of femur

48
Q

Actions of all 5 adductor muscles

A

Hip adduction & Flexion of thigh

49
Q

Which Adductor muscles have a unique action and what are they?

A

Adductor Magnus and Gracilis
* AM - Hip extension
* Gracilis - knee flexion

50
Q

How many muscles make up the hamstrings and where are they facing

A

3 muscles; posterior region of thigh

51
Q

What are the hamstring muscles named?

A

Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus

BF is more lateral; semitendinosus is more skinnier and longer than semimembranosus

52
Q

Origin of the three hamstring muscles

A

Ischial tuberosity & Linea aspera of femur (Short Head BF)

Only the long head of the BF (not short head) because it crosses the hip joint

53
Q

Origin of Bicep Femoris (Short head)

A

Linea aspera of femur

54
Q

Insertion of Semimembranosus

A

Medial side of tibia

55
Q

Insertion of Semitendinosus

A

Medial side of tibia

56
Q

Insertion of Bicep Femoris

A
  • Head of fibula; Lateral condyle of tibia
57
Q

Actions of Semimembranosus

A

Hip extension & Knee Flexion

58
