what nerve innervates the hamstring muscles?
tibial division of the sciatic nerve (L5, S1, S2)
what are the hamstrings muscles?
semitendinosus
semimembranosus
long head of biceps femoris
where do the hamstring muscles originate?
ischial tuberosity
what are the muscles of Quadriceps femoris?
Rectus femoris
vastus lateralis
Vastus medialis
Vastus intermedius
what is the innervation of Quadriceps femoris?
Femoral Nerve (L2, L3, L4)
What is the actions of Quadriceps femoris muscles?
Extend leg at knee joint
Rectus femoris: also steadies hip joint and help iliopsoas flex thigh
Origin of Rectus Femoris
AIIS
Ilium superior to acetebulum
Origin of Vastus Lateralis
Greater trochanter
Lateral lip of linea aspera of femur
Origin of Vastus Medialis
Intertrochanteric line
Medial lip of linea aspera of femur
Origin of Vastus Intermedius
Anterior and lateral surfaces of shaft of femur
Origin of pectineus
Superior ramus of pubis
Insertion of pectineus
Pectineal line of femur-just inferior to lesser trochanter
Innervation of pectineus
Femoral nerve (L2,L3)
Action of Pectineus
Adducts thigh
flexes thigh
assists with medial rotation of thigh
Origin of Sartorius
ASIS
superior part of notch inferior to ASIS
Insertion of Sartorius
Superior part of medial surface of tibia
Innervation of Sartorius
Femoral nerve (L2,L3)
Action of Sartorius
Flexes thigh at hip joint
Abducts thigh at hip joint
Laterally rotates thigh at hip joint
Flexes leg at knee joint
Adductor longus
Origin: body of pubis inferior to pubic crest
Insertion: Middle 1/3 of linea aspera
Innervation: Obturator nerve (L2,L3,L4)
Action: Adducts thigh
Adductor Brevis
Origin: body and inferior ramus of pubis
Insertion: pectineal line and proximal part of linea aspera
Innervation: Obturator nerve (L2,L3,L4)
Actions: Adducts thigh
Adductor Magnus (adductor part)
Origin: Inferior ramus of pubis and ramus and ischium
Insertion: gluteal tuberostiy. linea aspera, medial supracondylar line
Innervation: Obturator nerve (L2,L3,L4)
Action: adducts thigh, Flexes thigh
Adductor Magnus (Hamstring part)
Origin: ischial tuberosity
Insertion: adductor tubercle of femur
Innervation: tibial part of sciatic nerve (L4)
Action: adducts thigh and extends thigh
Gracilis
Origin: body and inferior ramus of pubis
Insertion: superior part of medial surface of tibia
Innervation: Obturator nerve (L2, L3)
Action: adducts thigh, flexes leg, and helps rotate leg medially
Obturator Externus
Origin: Margins of obturator foramen and obturator membrane
Insertion: trochanteric fossa of femur
Innveration: obturator nerve (L3,L4)
Action: Laterally rotates thigh and steadies head of femur in acetebulum
