Thigh and knee I Flashcards
deep fascia divides thigh into 3 com:
anterior, posterior, medial compartment
general actions of + innervation: anterior com of thigh
- flex thigh at hip
- extend leg at knee
- femoral nerve (inn)
general actions of + innervation: medial com of thigh
adductors of thigh at hip joint
- obturator nerve (inn)
general actions of + innervation: posterior com of thigh
- extend thigh at hip joint
- flex leg at the knee
- sciatic nerve (inn)
list (7) anterior com muscles of thigh:
- sartorius
- illiacus
- psoas (makes iliopsoas)
quadriceps femoris:
- rectus femoris
- vastus lateralis
- vastus medialis
- vastus intermedius
list (5) medial com muscles of thigh:
- adductor magnus
- adductor longus
- adductor brevis
- pectineus
- gracilis
list (3) posterior com muscles of thigh:
- biceps femoris
- semitendinosus
- semimembranosus
tensor fasciae latae: location
superficial lateral
tensor fasciae latae: origin
lateral aspect of iliac crest
- btw ASIS and tuberculum
tensor fasciae latae: insertion
iliotibial tract
tensor fasciae latae: innervation
superior gluteal n
tensor fasciae latae: action
stabilises extended knee
psoas major: location
anterior com thigh, deep
psoas major: origin
bodies + transverse processes T12-L5 and intervertebral discs
psoas major: insertion
lesser trochanter
psoas major: innervation
L1, L2, L3
psoas major: action
flexes thigh at the hip
iliacus: location
ant com thigh,
lateral to psoas major, deep
iliacus: origin
iliac fossa
iliacus: insertion
lesser trochanter
iliacus: innervation
femoral n
iliacus: action
flexes thigh at hip, anterior pelvic tilt
sartorius: location
anterior com thigh, deep
sartorius: origin
anterior superior iliac spine
sartorius: insertion
medial surface of tibia
- (inferomedial to tibial tuberosity)
sartorius: innervation
femoral n
sartorius: action
flexes:
- thigh at hip
- leg at knee
- abducts
- laterally rotates thigh (at hip)
muscles which make up quadriceps femoris:
- rectus femoris
- vastus lateralis
- vastus medialis
- vastus intemedius
general locations of quadriceps muscles:
- v.medialis: most medial
- v.lateralis: most lateral
- v.intermedius: central deep to r.f.
- rectus femoris: central superficial to v.i.
rectus femoris: location
ant com thigh, superficial
rectus femoris: origin
straight head:
- AIIS
reflected head:
- superior to acetabulum
rectus femoris: insertion
tibial tuberosity (via quadriceps tendon and patellar lig)
rectus femoris: innervation
femoral n
rectus femoris: action
- flexed thigh at hip
- extends leg at knee
vastus lateralis: location
ant com thigh, lateral
