Week 6 Anterior and medial thigh Flashcards
proximal and distal attachment of pectineus
proximal:
superior ramus of pubis
distal:
- lesser trochanter of femur
- **pectineal line of femur**
.
innervation of pectineus
femoral nerve
main action of pectineus
assist in lateral rotation
adducts and slightly flexes hip joint
proximal and distal attachment of psoas major
proximal:
- sides of T12-L5 vertebrae and disc between them
- transverse processes of all lumbar vertebrae
distal:
lesser trochanter of femur
main action of psoas major
act conjointly in flexion and lateral rotation of hip joint
stabilizing joint when standing
innervation of psoas major
anterior rami
of lumbar nerve (L1, L2, L3)
proximal and distal attachment of iliacus
proximal:
- iliac crest
- iliac fossa
- ala of sacrum
- anterior sacroiliac ligaments
distal:
- tendon of psoas major
- lesser trochanter of femur
innervation of iliacus
femoral nerve
main action of iliacus
act conjointly in flexion and lateral rotation of hip joint
stabilizing joint when standing
proximal and distal attachment of sartorius
proximal:
anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)
superior part of notch inferior to it
distal:
superior part of medial surface of tibia
.
innervation of sartorius
femoral nerve
main action of sartorius
abducts, flexes, laterally rotates hip joint
flexes knee joint
proximal and distal attachment of rectus femoris
proximal:
anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS)
ilium superior to acetabulum
distal: via common tendinous
(quadriceps tendon) to base of patella
, indirectly via patella ligament to tibial tuberosity
innervation of rectus femoris
femoral nerve
main action of rectus femoris
- extends knee joint
- steadies hip joint
- helps iliopsoas flex hip joint

proximal:
greater trochanter lateral
lip of linea aspera of femur
distal: via common tendinous
(quadriceps tendon) to base of patella
, indirectly via patella ligament to tibial tuberosity
innervation of vastus medialis
femoral nerve
main action of vastus medialis, lateralis, intermedius
extends knee joint
proximal and distal attachment of vastus intermedius
proximal:
anterior and lateral surfaces of shaft of femur
distal: via common tendinous
(quadriceps tendon) to base of patella
, indirectly via patella ligament to tibial tuberosity
