All ADDUCTORS have a common ORIGIN at the | PUBIS |
PSOAS MAJOR and ILIACUS are called | ILIOPSOAS |

Assists to create lordotic curvature in the lumbar spine and tilts the pelvis posteriorly | PSOAS MINOR |
PSOAS MAJOR and ILIACUS have the primary action of | HIP FLEXION |
O - Body and transverse process of first lumbar vertebra I - Superior ramus of pubis | PSOAS MINOR |
The INGUINAL LIGAMENT, SATORIUS and ADDUCTOR LONGUS form the | FEMORAL TRIANGLE |
The femoral artery, nerve and vein form a neurovascular bundle that goes through the | FEMORAL TRIANGLE |
Superficial band stretching from the ASIS and the pubis | INGUINAL LIGAMENT |
Distal to the inguinal ligament, these feel like small bumps | Inguinal lymph nodes |
Ligaments, tendons, fasciae and retinacula are all forms of what kind of tissue | CONNECTIVE |
Another name for the coxal joint is | HIP |
Flexion of the hip will shorten this muscle | PECTINEUS |
The two dimples at the small of the back can help identify what bony landmark | PSIS |
The ASIS and PSIS can be found on each end of this bony landmark | ILIAC CREST |
The INGUINAL LIGAMENT(Superiorly), SATORIUS (Laterally) and ADDUCTOR LONGUS(Medially) form the | FEMORAL TRIANGLE |
The femoral artery, nerve and vein form a neurovascular bundle that goes through the | FEMORAL TRIANGLE |
Superficial band stretching from the ASIS and the pubis | INGUINAL LIGAMENT |
Distal to the inguinal ligament, these feel like small bumps | Inguinal lymph nodes |
Ligaments, tendons, fasciae and retinacula are all forms of what kind of tissue | CONNECTIVE |
Another name for the coxal joint is | HIP |
Opening for arteries, nerves, etc located inferiorly in the ADDUCTOR MAGNUS | ADDUCTOR HIATUS |
The two dimples at the small of the back can help identify what bony landmark | PSIS |
The ASIS and PSIS can be found on each end of this bony landmark | ILIAC CREST |
This group of muscles EXTEND THE HIP and FLEX THE KNEE | HAMSTRINGS |
How many HAMSTRINGS muscles are there? | 3 |
All of the HAMSTRINGS ORIGINATE from this bony landmark | ISCHIUM (ISCHIAL TUBEROSITY) |
O - ischial tuberosity
I - head of fibula | BICEPS FEMORIS - LONG HEAD |
O - lateral lip of the linea aspera
I - head of fibula | BICEPS FEMORIS - SHORT HEAD |
O - ischial tuberosity & lateral lip of linea aspera
I - head of fibula | BICEPS FEMORIS |
What HAMSTRINGS muscle has 2 bellies? | BICEPS FEMORIS |
What muscle is referred to as the "filet mignon" or "tenderloin" | PSOAS MAJOR |
O - ischial tuberosity
I - proximal, medial tibia at pes anserinus | SEMITENDINOSUS |
O - ischial tuberosity I - posterior aspect of medial condyle of tibia | SEMIMEMBRANOSUS |
Prime mover or agonist for HIP FLEXION | ILIOPSOAS |
If you are palpating between the UMBILICUS(navel)and ASIS, follow your client's exhalation and you will feel what muscle? | PSOAS MAJOR |
If you curl your fingers around the anterior portion of the illiac fossa, you will palpate what muscle? | ILIACUS |
Only ADDUCTOR that helps to flex the hip | PECTINEUS |
Most medial ADDUCTOR | GRACILIS |
What adductor lies superficially on the medial thigh | GRACILIS |
This lateral hip rotators fibers run horizonally | QUADRATUS FEMORIS |
O - lateral border of the ischial tuberosity I - Intertrochanteric crest between the greater and lesser trochanters | QUADRATUS FEMORIS |
This muscle laterally rotates the hip | QUADRATUS FEMORIS |
