BONE
What bone forms the ball-and-socket joint with the acetabulum?
Femur
What muscle is the primary hip flexor?
Iliopsoas
Ligament that connects the back of the sacrum to the ischial tuberosity.
sacrotuberous ligament
Supplies most of the posterior compartment of the thigh.
Tibial Nerve
Adductor canal is also known as?
Subsatorial
Which specific part of the femur articulates with the tibia?
Medial and lateral condyles
What muscle is the greatest knee extensor and also has hip flexor component?
Rectus femoris
This is the insertion of the powerful extensor of the knee joint.
Patellar Ligament
It leaves the gluteal region and descends in the midline of the posterior compartment of the thigh.
Sciatic nerve
It is a gap in the deep fascia in the front of the thigh just below the inguinal ligament, and filled with loose connective tissue called the cribriform fascia.
Saphenous opening
What is the large prominence on the proximal lateral femur where gluteus medius inserts?
Greater trochanter
Which muscle group originates from the ischial tuberosity?
Hamstrings
It is formed by the greater sciatic notch of the hip bone and the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments.
Greater sciatic foramen
This is the largest branch of the lumbar plexus (L2, L3 and L4).
Femoral Nerve
Adductor magnus originates from which structure?

The intercondylar fossa is located between what structures?
what structures?Between the medial and lateral condyles of the femur
Name the muscle responsible for hip abduction and medial rotation.
Gluteus medius
Which ligament connects the femoral head to the acetabulum?
Ligamentum Teres
What nerve passes through the greater sciatic foramen below the piriformis?
Sciatic nerve
Sartorius inserts on what specific part of the tibia?
Medial surface of proximal tibia (pes anserinus)
Name the bone that transmits weight from the femur to the foot.
Tibia
What muscle assists the gluteus maximus muscle in maintaining the knee in the extended position?
Tensor Fascia Latae
Lateral compartment of femoral sheath is occupied by femoral artery as it enters the thigh beneath what ligament?
Inguinal ligament
Two nerves that forms the sciatic nerve
tibial and common peroneal nerve
What are the muscles located at the medial compartment of the thigh?
Gracilis
Adductor longus
Adductor brevis
Adductor magnus
Obturator externus
