Test 2: appendicular muscles- hip, thigh, leg, foot Flashcards
Quadriceps muscle group (quadriceps femoris heads)
Rectus femoris Vastus intermedius Vastus lateralis Vastus medialis ** all insert at tibial tuberosity by patellar tendon
Adductor muscle group
Adductor magnus
Adductor longus
Adductor brevis
Muscles that act on the hip
Tensor
Sartorius
Gracilis
Gluteus muscle group
Gluteus maximus
Gluteus medius
Gluteus minimus
**all originate on outer iliac blade
What do gluteus medius and gluteus minimus have in common?
Both originate on outer iliac blade, both insert at greater trochanter of femur, both abduct and medially rotate thigh
Hamstring muscle group
Biceps femoris
Semitendinosus
Semimembranosus
**all originate at ischial tuberosity
Function of hamstring muscle group
