25
4 myo in quadriceps femoris group
- rectus femoris (central, superficial, crosses 2 joints)
- vastus medialis (medial)
- vastus lateralis (lateral)
- vastus intermedius (deep to rectus femoris)
26
quadriceps femoris -- origins
1. rectus femoris: AIIS
2. vastus medialis: medial lip of linea aspera
3. vastus lateralis: lateral lip of linea aspera, gluteal tuberosity + greater trochanter
4. vastus intermedius: anterior + lateral shaft of femur
27
quadriceps femoris -- insertion
- tibial tuberosity (via the patella and patellar ligament)
- (all four quad myos converge into a single tendon above knee; that tendon connects to the top and sides of patella before attaching to tibial tuberosity via the patellar ligament)
- (because the tendon attaches one bone to another -- the patella to the tibia -- it is actually considered a ligament)
28
quadriceps femoris -- actions
- ALL: extend knee
| - rectus femorus only: flex the hip
29
quadriceps femoris -- nerve
femoral nerve
30
osgood schlatter's disease
- avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity (avulsion fracture is when myo pulls a piece of bone with it when the bone fractures)
- pulls tibial tuberosity away from tibia (common in kids bc their bones are softer and not fully ossified)
31
4 hamstrings myo
1. biceps femoris (long head + short head)
2. semitendinosus (superficial to the semimembranosus)
3. semimembranosus (wider and deeper than semitendinosus)
32
hamstrings -- common origin
ischial tuberosity (for all except the short head of biceps femoris)
33
biceps femoris -- origin
- ischial tuberosity (long head)
| - lateral lip of linea aspera, on shaft of femur (short head)
34

same actions as semimembranosus:
- flex knee

- extend hip
- tilt pelvis posteriorly
40

57
iliotibial tract (IT band)
