muscles that flex hip

Answer 17

psoas major - T12-L5 to lesser trochanter (lumbar plexus L1-L3)

Answer 22

gluteus medius - posteror surface of ilium to greater trochanter (sup gluteal nerve L5,S1)
gluteus minimus - posterior surface of ilum to greater trochanter sup gluteal nerve L5, S1)
tensor fascia latae -iliac crest & ASIS to iliotibial tract (superior gluteal nerve L4,L5,S1)

Question 26

muscles that adduct the hip

Answer 26

adductor magnus - oblique head - inferior pubis ramus &ischial ramus to gluteal tuberosity (obturator nerve (L2-L4) vertical head - ischial tuberosity to adductor tubercle of femur sciatic nerve (L2-L4) adductor longus - superior pubis ramus to distal linea aspera on femur adductor brevis - inferior pubis ramus to proximal linea aspera (obturator nerve L3,L4) Gracilis - pubic body to medial surface of tibia (obturator nerve L3,L4)
