The nerve of the anterior compartment of thigh is the femoral nerve. [2] Innervation for the quadriceps muscles come from the posterior division of the femoral nerve, while the anterior division (which contains cutaneous as well as muscular components) gives a lateral and a medial branch, the second being responsible for the innervation of the sartorius muscle.

Anatomical terms of muscle. [ edit on Wikidata] The tensor vastus intermedius is a muscle in the anterior compartment of thigh. It lies between the vastus intermedius and the vastus lateralis.

The vastus medialis is a muscle present in the anterior compartment of thigh, and is one of the four muscles that make up the quadriceps muscle. The others are the vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius and rectus femoris. [1] It is the most medial of the "vastus" group of muscles. The vastus medialis arises medially along the entire length of ...
Sartorius muscle. Muscles of the right leg, viewed from the front. (Rectus femoris removed to reveal the vastus intermedius.) The sartorius muscle (/ sɑːrˈtɔːriəs /) is the longest muscle in the human body. [2] It is a long, thin, superficial muscle that runs down the length of the thigh in the anterior compartment.

One of the adductor muscles of the hip, its main function is to adduct the thigh and it is innervated by the obturator nerve. It forms the medial wall of the femoral triangle.
The tibialis anterior muscle is a muscle of the anterior compartment of the lower leg. It originates from the upper portion of the tibia; it inserts into the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal bones of the foot. It acts to dorsiflex and invert the foot. This muscle is mostly located near the shin. It is situated on the lateral side of the ...
