piriformis is located where?   deep to the gluteus maximus, laterally rotate the thigh/coxal joing  
🗑
example of piriformis action.   when the legs are crossed with one ankle resting on the knee  
🗑
what is a negative action of the pirifomis?   can cause pressure on a major nerve that runs down the back of the thigh  
🗑

🗑
the quadriceps tendon   is continuous over the patella and becomes the patellar ligament as it attch to the tibial tuberosity  
🗑
how is the quadriceps tendon become the patellar ligament   as it attchs to the tibial tuberosity on the proximal anterior region of the tibia  
🗑

🗑
medial (adductor) compartment of thigh contains?   gracilis  
🗑
posterior (flexor) compartment of the thigh contains   biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus (three hamstring muscles)  
🗑
how did the hamstring muscles gain their name?   bc a ham is strung up by the tendons of these muscles while being smoked  
🗑
what is the function of the hamstring muscles?   flex the knee joint/leg and are antagonistic to the quadriceps femoris muscles.  
🗑

🗑
biceps femoris   tow headed muscle inserts on t he lateral side of leg, palpated at the laterael margin of the popliteal fossa  
🗑
semimembranosus   deep to the semitendinosus and inserts on the medial side of the leg. it's tendon of insertion palpated at the medial margin of the popliteal fossa  
🗑
semitendinosus   superficial to the semimembranosus and inserts on the medial side off the leg. creates the most prominent medial lip of the popliteal fossa.
