🗑
Sartorius / Tailor’s Muscle Origin   ASIS.  
🗑
Sartorius / Tailor’s Muscle Insertion   Superior part of medial side of tibia.  
🗑
Sartorius / Tailor’s Muscle Action   Ability to sit cross-legged involves flextion and lateral rotation of thigh at hip. Flextion and medial rotation of leg at knee.  
🗑
Sartorius / Tailor’s Muscle Nerve   Femoral.  
🗑
Sartorius / Tailor’s Muscle Blood   Deep femoral / profunda femoris artery.  
🗑
Rectus femoris Origin   AIIS & posterior superior rim of the acetabulum.  
🗑

🗑
Vastus medialis Origin   Inferior part of intertrochanteric line, pectineal line of femur, medial lip of linea aspera of femur, medial intermuscular septum.  
🗑
Vastus Intermedius Origin   Anterior and lateral surfaces of shaft of femur.  
🗑
Quadriceps femoris Insertion   All 4 heads into patella tendon and tibial tuberosity via patellar ligament.  
🗑
Quadriceps femoris Action   Extension of leg at knee. (Rectus Femoris): flexion of thigh at hip.  
🗑
Quadriceps femoris Nerve   Femoral.  
🗑
Quadriceps femoris Blood   Deep femoral/profunda femoris  
🗑
Pectineus Origin   Pectineal line of superior ramus of pubis.  
🗑
Pectineus Insertion   Pectineal line of femur.  
🗑

🗑
Pectineus Nerve   Femoral (May receive some innervations from the anterior branch of obturator)  
🗑
Pectineus Blood   Medial circumflex femoral.  
🗑
Iliacus Origin   Iliac Fossa.  
🗑
Iliacus Insertion   Lesser trochanter of femur (along with tendon of psoas major).  
🗑
Iliacus Action   (as iliopsoas) flexion of thigh at hip.  
🗑
Iliacus Nerve   Femoral  
🗑
Iliacus Blood   Iliolumbar.  
🗑
Psoas major Origin   Transverse processes, sides of vertebral bodies, & T12-L5.  
🗑
Psoas major Insertion   lesser trochanter of femur (along with tendon of iliacus)  
🗑
Psoas major Action   (as iliopsoas) flexion of thigh at hip.  
🗑
Psoas major Nerve   Ventral rami of L1-L3.  
🗑
Psoas major Blood   iliolumbar.  
🗑
Gracilis Origin   Body of pubis & inferior ramus of pubis.  
🗑
Gracilis Insertion   Medial surface of proximal part of shaft of tibia, inferior to the tibial condyle.  
🗑
Gracilis Action   Adduction of thigh at hip, flexes & medially rotates leg at the knee.  
🗑
Gracilis Nerve   Anterior branch of obturator.  
🗑
Gracilis Blood   Obturator artery. (This muscle is relatively weak in its actions, therefore it is sometimes used to replace a damaged hand muscle.)  
🗑
Adductor Longus Origin   Anterior surface of body of pubis.  
🗑
Adductor Longus Insertion   Linea aspera of femur.  
🗑
Adductor Longus Action   Adducts & flexes thigh at hip.

🗑
Adductor Magnus (Adductor Part) Origin   Inferior ramus of pubis & ramus of ischium.  
🗑
Adductor Magnus (Adductor Part) Insertion   Linea aspera of femur.  
🗑

🗑
Obturator externus Origin   Bony margins of obturator foramen & external surface of obturator membrane.  
🗑
Obturator externus Insertion   Trochanteric fossa of femur.  
🗑
