When walking, the action of the iliopsoas muscle results in what motion at the hip joint?
Abduction
Adduction
Extension
Flexion
Medial rotation
Sartorius muscle is innervated by:
Obturator nerve
Femoral nerve
Nerve to vastus medialis
Superior gluteal nerve
Lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh
All the following statements about sartorius muscle are correct EXCEPT:
It flexes the leg at the knee joint.
It flexes the thigh at the hip joint
It laterally rotates the thigh at the hip joint.
It adducts the thigh at the hip joint
It is attached to the anterior superior iliac spine
The part of the quadriceps muscle acting on both hip and knee joints is:
Vastus medialis
Vastus lateralis
Rectus femoris
Vastus intermedius
None of the above
Concerning the quadriceps femoris, all are true EXCEPT:
Arises entirely from the femur
Innervated by the femoral nerve
The vastus medialis arises from the linea aspera
It prevents lateral displacement of patella

Iliacus
Psoas major
Sartorius
Pectineus
The longest muscle of the body is:
Sartorius
Gluteus maximus
Adductor longus
Plantaris
Which of the quadricep femoris muscles performs extension as well as flexion?
Vastus lateralis
Vastus medialis
Vastus intermedias
Rectus femoris
Which of the following muscles crosses two joints?
Vastus lateralis
Vastus medialis
Vastus intermedius
Rectus femoris
The deepest of muscles is?
Vastus lateralis
Vastus medialis
Vastus intermedius
Rectus femoris
The psoas muscle:
passes across the front of the capsule of the hip joint
is a powerful lateral rotator of the femur
inserts into the greater trochanter
is supplied by L4 and L5 nerve roots
arises from the iliac crest and sacroiliac joint
Iliopsoas:
supplied by obturator nerve
medial rotator of hip
synergist of quadriceps femoris
lateral rotator of hip
none of the above
Rectus femoris muscle:
occupies an intermediate plane in the quadriceps muscle mass
arises from the anterior superior iliac spine
has two heads of origin
supplied by ilioinguinal nerve
none of the above
Which is not an origin of vastus lateralis?
upper half of the intertrochanteric line
aponeurosis of tensor fascia lata
lateral lip of the linea aspera
upper two thirds of the lateral supracondylar line of femur
lateral intermuscular septum
The muscles supplied by the femoral nerve include all except
Sartorius
Iliacus
Psoas major
Pectineus
Rectus femoris
Concerning the origins of the quadriceps femoris
All 4 component muscles have an origin from the femur
Vastus lateralis arises from the femur above intertrochanteric line and acetabulum
Vastus medialis arises from femur and tendon of adductor longus
Rectus femoris arises from 3 heads
Vastus intermedius arises from shaft of femur
Concerning iliacus
It inserts into the greater trochanter of the femur
It occupies and is attached to the whole of the iliac fossa
Nerve supply is femoral nerve
It acts to flex and laterally rotate the hip
Psoas major
Has a proximal attachment to the bodies discs and transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae
Has the lumbar plexus embedded within it
Has the lumbar arterie sand veins running behind it
Inserts into the lesser trochanter
All of the above
Sartorius
Arises from the ASIS
Inserts into the styloid of the fibula
Is supplied by the obturator nerve
Flexes and medially rotates the thigh
Difficulty extending the knee can result from damage to the ________.
femoral nerve
inferior gluteal nerve
common peroneal nerve
superior gluteal nerve
tibial nerve
