  2. Sartorius muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sartorius_muscle

    The sartorius muscle can move the hip joint and the knee joint, but all of its actions are weak, making it a synergist muscle. [4] At the hip, it can flex, weakly abduct, and laterally rotate the femur. [4] At the knee, it can flex the leg; when the knee is flexed, sartorius medially rotates the leg.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_system_of_the_horse

    Sartorius: originates from the iliac fascia and the tendon of the psoas minor, inserts into the medial patellar ligament and tuberosity of the tibia. Adducts the limb, flexes the hip. Semimembranosus: originates from ventral side of tuber ischii and caudal side of sacrosciatic ligament. Inserts into medial epicondyle of femur.

  4. Pes anserinus (leg) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pes_anserinus_(leg)

    The three tendons, from front to back, that conjoin to form the pes anserinus come from the sartorius muscle, the gracilis muscle, and the semitendinosus muscle. [1] [2] It inserts onto the proximal anteromedial surface of the tibia. [2] The pes anserinus is around 5 cm below the medial tibial joint line. [2]

  5. Anterior compartment of thigh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_compartment_of_thigh

    The anterior compartment is one of the fascial compartments of the thigh that contains groups of muscles together with their nerves and blood supply. The anterior compartment contains the sartorius muscle (the longest muscle in the body) and the quadriceps femoris group, which consists of the rectus femoris muscle and the three vasti muscles – the vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, and ...

  6. Anterior superior iliac spine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_superior_iliac_spine

    It provides attachment for the inguinal ligament, the sartorius muscle, [1] [4] and the tensor fasciae latae muscle. [2] [3] A variety of structures lie close to the anterior superior iliac spine, including the subcostal nerve, [5] the femoral artery (which passes between it and the pubic symphysis), [4] and the iliohypogastric nerve. [6]

  7. Rectus femoris muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectus_femoris_muscle

    The rectus femoris, sartorius, and iliopsoas are the flexors of the thigh at the hip. The rectus femoris is a weaker hip flexor when the knee is extended because it is already shortened and thus suffers from active insufficiency ; the action will recruit more iliacus , psoas major , tensor fasciae latae , and the remaining hip flexors than it ...

  8. Femoral nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_nerve

    Anterior division supplies the sartorius muscle [1] Posterior division supplies the rectus femoris muscle, the three vastus muscles – (vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and vastus intermedius), and the articularis genus muscle. The articularis genus is supplied by a branch of the nerve to vastus intermedius. [1]

  9. Lateral rotator group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_rotator_group

    The lateral rotator group is a group of six small muscles of the hip which all externally (laterally) rotate the femur in the hip joint.It consists of the following muscles: piriformis, gemellus superior, obturator internus, gemellus inferior, quadratus femoris and the obturator externus.
