what are the anterior muscles of the hips?
Iliacus
Posoas Major
Iliacus
Iliacus
action?
hip flexion
Posoas Major
Posoas Major
action?
hip flexion
when iliacus and psoas major are together
it’s referred to as the
Ilioposas
iliacus + psoas major
share the same _____ that attaches to the ______
share the same tendon that attaches to the femur
Hip Flexion
is a
decrease in angle between femur and os coxa
what is one lateral component of the hips?
Fascia Lata
Fascia Lata
is a
fibrous connective tissue sheath encircling thigh
what are the lateral tendons of the hips?
tendon of Gluteus Maximus
tendon of Tensor Fasciae Latae
Fascia Lata
Tendon of Gluteus Maximus
Tendon of Tensor Fasciae Latae
combine to make the
iliotibial tract
iliotibial tract
spans from the _____ to ______
iliac crest to tibia
what are the Gluteal Muscles of the Posterior Thigh?
Gluteus Maximus
Gluteus Medius
Gluteus Minimus
Gluteus Maximus
action?
major muscle for hip extension
Gluteus Medius
location?
deep to gluteus maximus
( runs entire length of iliac crest )
Gluteus Medius
action?
hip abduction
( secures our stable leg when walking )
Gluteus Minimus
location?
deep to gluteus medius
Gluteus Minimus
action?
helps with multiple actions
extra pic
what are the anterior muscles of the thigh?
Quadriceps Femoris
Satorius
Quadriceps Femoris
has how many heads?
4
“quad”
what are the 4 heads?
Retus femoris
Vastus lateralis
Vastus medialis
Vastus intermedius
Retus femoris
why is it’s location special?
only head that crosses the hip joint onto pelvis
Retus femoris
action?
knee extension
+ hip flexion ( because of the hip joint crossing )
Vastus lateralis
location?
lateral side
Vastus medialis
location?
medial side
Vastus intermedius
location?
deep to quadricep muscle’s rectus femoris
( behind! that’s why you can’t see it in some pics )
Vastus lateralis
Vastus medialis
Vastus intermedius
together’s action?
knee extension
extra pic
All 4 quadricep heads attach to the
quadriceps tendon
quadriceps tendon
inserts into the
patella
after the patella the tendon is referred to as the
patellar ligament
patellar ligament
inserts into the
tibial tuberosity
Satorius
muscle shape?
long rope like
Satorius
location?
stretches from lateral to medial sides of thigh
Satorius
action?
hip flexion
lateral thigh rotation
what group of muscles are at the
Medial ( inner ) Thigh?
adductor muscles
what are 4 adductor muscles?
Adductor Longus
Adductor Brevis
Adductor Magnus
Gracilis
Adductor Longus
Adductor Brevis
Adductor Magnus
location?
primarily attach to ischium + medial posterior part of the thigh
( some to the pubis)
Adductor Longus
Adductor Brevis
Adductor Magnus
action?
hip abduction
Gracilis
muscle shape?
long + strap-like
Gracilis
location?
runs from pubic bone to tibia ( medial side )
note
sideways it looks like a seatbelt that runs from hip to knee
Gracilis
action?
thigh adduction
what muscle is at the Posterior Thigh?
Hamstring Muscles
Hamstring Muscles
action?
knee flexion
hip extension
knee flexion
is between
tibia and femur
( pulls femur backwards )
hip extension
hamstrings works together with
gluteus maximus
Hamstring Muscles
include
Biceps Femoris
Semitendinosus
Semimembranosus
Biceps Femoris
how many heads?
2
what are the heads called?
Long Head
Short Head
Long Head
Short Head
location on hamstring?
lateral side
Long Head
action?
thigh extension
Short Head
action?
knee flexion
NOT thigh extension ( because it doesn’t cross the hip joint )
Semitendinosus
location on hamstring?
medial side
Semimembranosus
location on hamstring?
medial side
what do the Leg's Anterior (Extensor) Muscles do?

Dorsiflexion
is
movement of toes upwards towards the shin (raising foot at the ankle)
Extensor Digitorum Longus
action?
toe extension ( except the big toe )
Extensor Hallucis Longus
action?
extension of big toe
( notice: there’s “hallux” in the word! )
Plantarflexion
is
lifting the heel and pointing the toes downward ( standing on your toes )
