Pectineus

psoas major (iliopsoas)

P: superior ramus of pubis D: pectineal line of femur, inferior to lesser trochanter Actions: adducts thigh, flexes thigh

P: transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae, sides of bodies of T12-L5 and discs D: strong tendon to lesser trochanter of femur Actions: acts with iliacus to flex thigh, stabilizes hip while standing

Iliacus (Iliopsoas)

Sartorius

P: iliac fossa and crest, sacrum and sacroiliac liga- ments D: strong tendon to lesser trochanter of femur Actions: acts with psoas major to flex thigh, stabi- lizes hip while standing

P: anterior superior iliac spine D: superior part of medial surface of tibia Actions: flexes thigh at hip, abducts thigh at hip, later- ally rotates thigh at hip

Adductor brevis

Adductor magnus

P: body and inferior ramus of pubis D: pectineal line and proxi- mal part of linea aspera of femur Actions: adducts thigh at hip

P: adductor part: inferior ramus of pubis, ramus of ischium hamstring part: ischial tuberosity D: adductor part: gluteal tuberosity,linea aspera, medial supracondylar line hamstring part: adductor tubercle of femur Actions: adducts thigh at hip, adductor part: flexes, hamstring part: extends

Gracilis

Obturator externus

P: body and inferior ramus of pubis D: superior part of medial surface of tibia Actions: adducts thigh at hip, flexes leg at knee, helps medially rotates leg at knee

P: margins of obturator foramen and obturator D: trochanteric fossa of fe- mur Actions: lateral rotates thigh, steadies head of fe- mur in acetabulum
