New cards

what are the 5 muscles needed for knee flexion

  • biceps femoris

  • semitendinosus

  • gracilis

  • sartorius

  • semimembranosus

2
New cards

where is the origin if the bicep femoris

for the long head = ischial tuberosity

for the short head = linea aspera of the femur

3
New cards

where is the insertion of the bicep femoris

the head of the fibula

4
New cards

what is the nerve supply for the bicep femoris

the sciatic nerve

5
New cards

where is the origin of the semitendinosus 

the ischial tuberosity 

6
New cards

where is the insertion of the semitendinosus

the proximal tibia below the medial condylewha

7
New cards

what is the nerve supply of the semitendinosus

the sciatic and tibial nerve

8
New cards

where is the origin of the gracilis 

the body of pubis, inferior pubic and ischial rami 

9
New cards

where is the insertion of the gracilis

the medial surface of the proximal tibia

10
New cards

what is the nerve supply for the gracilis

the obturator nerve

11
New cards

where is the origin of the sartorius

ASIS

12
New cards

where is the insertion of the sartorius
