Which of the following muscles have insertions at the femur?
Large and superficial muscles which mainly abduct and extend the thigh at the hip joint. These are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae….Gemellus superior.
| Origin | Ischial spine |
|---|---|
| Insertion | Medial surface of greater trochanter of femur, (via tendon of obturator internus) |
What muscle inserts on the third trochanter?
Third trochanter – Trochanter tertius In horse, the third trochanter is an additional process on the lateral surface of the proximal third of the body of femur, for insertion of superficial gluteal muscle.
What inserts on lesser tuberosity of humerus?
The subscapularis muscle originates at the subscapular fossa and inserts into the lesser tubercle of the humerus.
What inserts lesser tuberosity?
Description. The lesser tubercle is located on the craniomedial part of the proximal extremity of humerus. It gives insertion for the muscles of the shoulder blade (infraspinous and supraspinous muscles).
What inserts on the greater trochanter?
The following muscles insert on the greater trochanter: Gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, piriformis, superior gemellus, obturator internus, and inferior gemellus.
What is the lesser trochanter of the femur?
The lesser trochanter is a pyramidal process that projects medially from the shaft of the femur and receives insertion of the iliopsoas muscle. Isolated fracture or detachment of the lesser trochanter is an infrequent occurrence and is most commonly seen secondary to avulsion in adolescent athletes.
Where does the rectus femoris insert?
patella
Insertion. Rectus Femoris together with vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius joins the quadriceps tendon to insert at the patella and tibial tuberosity (via patellar ligament).
What is the insertion of the highlighted muscle?
24 Cards in this Set
| Identify the highlighted structure. | Teres major (note the posterior view of the specimen). |
|---|---|
| What is the origin and insertion of the highlighted muscle? | Origin: Pubic symphysis and crest Insertion: costal cartilages of ribs 5-7, xiphoid |
Where does gluteus medius insertion?
greater trochanter of femur
Gluteus medius muscle
| Origin | Gluteal surface of ilium (between anterior and posterior gluteal lines) |
|---|---|
| Insertion | Lateral aspect of greater trochanter of femur |
| Action | Hip joint: Thigh abduction, thigh internal rotation (anterior part); Pelvis stabilization |
| Innervation | Superior gluteal nerve (L4-S1) |
Where does the supraspinatus insert?
Supraspinatus muscle
| Origin | Supraspinous fossa of scapula |
|---|---|
| Insertion | Greater tubercle of humerus |
| Action | Shoulder joint: abduction of arm, stabilization of the humeral head in the glenoid cavity |
| Innervation | Suprascapular nerve (C5, C6) |
| Blood supply | Suprascapular artery |
Which muscles insert on the humerus?
The pectoralis major, teres major, and latissimus dorsi insert at the intertubercular groove of the humerus. They work to adduct and medially, or internally, rotate the humerus. The infraspinatus and teres minor insert on the greater tubercle, and work to laterally, or externally, rotate the humerus.
What inserts on greater tuberosity of humerus?
Greater tubercle of humerus
| Terminology | English: Greater tubercle of humerus Latin: Tuberculum majus humeri Synonyms: Greater tuberosity of humerus |
|---|---|
| Location | Lateral part of proximal end of humerus |
| Attachments | Supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor muscles |
Which is the insertion of the piriformis?
Anatomy. The piriformis muscle originates from the anterior sacrum and sacroiliac joint, passes transversely through the greater sciatic foramen via the sciatic notch, and inserts on the greater trochanter (Fig. 24.1).
What causes lesser trochanter pain?
Bone spurs or calcium deposits. These can develop within the tendons that attach muscles to the trochanter. They can irritate the bursa and cause inflammation.
Where is the iliopsoas muscle?
inner hip
Iliopsoas is a large compound muscle of the inner hip composed of the iliacus and psoas major muscle. Aside from the iliopsoas, other muscles of the inner hip include the psoas minor, obturator externus, obturator internus, superior gemellus, inferior gemellus, piriformis and quadratus femoris.
What is the insertion of the sartorius?
The insertion for the sartorius muscle is the superior medial aspect of the tibial shaft, near the tibial tubercle. Two other tendons join it at its insertion: the gracilis and semitendinosus, to create the conjoined tendons known as the pes anserinus. At the knee, it acts to flex as well as internally rotate.
Where does the vastus lateralis insertion?
It arises from a series of flat, broad tendons attached to the femur, and attaches to the outer border of the patella. It ultimately joins with the other muscles that make up the quadriceps in the quadriceps tendon, which travels over the knee to connect to the tibia.
