Week 3 Flashcards
What is the origin of the pectineus muscle?
Pectineal line of pubis (superior pubic ramus)
Where does the pectineus muscle insert?
Pectineal line of femur (just below lesser trochanter on posterior aspect of femur)
What actions does the pectineus muscle perform?
Adduction and flexion of hip
What nerves innervate the pectineus muscle?
Femoral nerve and obturator nerve
