Thigh Flashcards
(43 cards)
The nerve supply of the posterior medial and anterior compartment are
Anterior- femoral
Medial Obturator
Posterior sciatic
What is the inter muscular delta
This is a structure that separates the muscle of the thigh into three compartments
The medial compartment of the thigh consist of which six muscles
Gracilis
Pectineus
Adductor longus
Adductor brevis
Adductor magnus
Obturator externus
Of the six muscle which is not innervated by the obturator
The pectineus- femoral
What is scarpa’s triangle
This an anatomical region which appear as a triangular depression upon abduction, laterally rotation and flexion
It contains the femoral vessels
Sartorious
Original ASIS
Insertion Medial surface of the tibia
Femoral L2 and L3
What is the role of the sartoriius
Flex abducts laterally rotates
Rectum Femoris Muscle
Origin- ASIS AND ILIUM
Insertion- Base of patella, patellar ligament, tibial tuberosities
Femoral nerve: L2-L4
The role of rectum femoris
Extend leg at knee joint
Steadies hip joint
Helps iliopsoas flex thigh
Vagus laterals
Greater trochanter origin
L2-4
Extends leg any knee joint
Vastus medialis
Original intertrochanteric line, linea aspera
Insertion base of patella patellar ligament
L2-4
Vastus intermedius
Anterior and lateral surface origin
Psoas major
Origin t12-L5
Insertion - lesser trochanter
L1-3
Flexes the thigh
Lliacus
Origin- iliac crest
Insertion lesser trochanter
Nerve L2 and L3
Flexes the thigh
Adductor longus
Origin- pubis
Insertion- linea of femur
Obturator - l2- l4
What muscle does medial rotation along with adduction
Adductor longus
Adductor brevis
Insertion Pectineal line
Adductor magnus
Origin inferior pubic ramus ischial tuberosity
Insertion gluteal tuberosity lines aspera
Adductor tubercle
Nerve L2-4
Hamstring part sciatic nerve L4
Obturator externus
Obturator foramen- origin
Trochanteric fossa- insertion
Obturator nerve L3 and 4
Laterally rotates
Gracilis
Pubis
Medial surface of tibia
L2 -3
Pectineus
Superior pubic ramus
Lesser trochanter - insertion
L2-3
What does the pectineus do
Adducts flexes and medial rotation of thigh
The femoral nerve emerges at the lower border between the
Psoas and iliacus muscle
The femoral nerve provides
Sensation to anterior thighs
Motor bravjes to knee extensor
