Document Summary

Insertion: medial to tibial tuberosity (with gracilis and semi ten: origin: asis, action: hip flexion, abduction, external rotation, knee flexion, internal rotation, defines medial aspect of anterior compartment of the thigh (everything else in lateral) Information: origin: medial linea aspera, distal intertrochanteric line. Insertion: tib tuberosity via the patellar tendon, medial and lateral condyles (either side of tibial tuberosity: action: knee extension. Drawing/palpation: won(cid:495)t see intermedius, borders on rectus femoris. Information: origin: aiis, acetabular roof of hip joint, action: hip flexion, knee extension. Information: origin: lateral lip of linea aspera, lateral surface of greater trochanter. Drawing/palpation: lateral border of anterior compartment of thigh, borders on rectus femoris, follow scooping line to insert on the patella, tucks under sartorius and tfl, wraps around the back but for now just see anterior portion. Posterior thigh: pg 485, 502, 506, 507. Information: 3 ish fingers for origin of semiten, semimem (underneath) and biceps femoris.
