Sartorius : asis gooses foot (i. e. medial knee) Rectus femoris: aiis --> quadriceps tendon ( rectus means parallel to midline) Innervation: femoral nerve : common nerve for anterior hip & thigh, anatomical significance , sit-up: during a sit-up for the first 15 degrees you iuse primarily the hip flexor, from supine into sit up postion.
