What is the Pectineus
200
the muscle used for flexion of the hip and the origin is at the ilium and the insertion is at the femur
What is the Illiacus
200
Origin is the Ischium, the insertion is the tibia
What is the Semimembranosus
200
the muscle used for eversion (turning your ankle inward) at the ankle
What is the Fibularis longus
200
One of the three vastus muscles, the origin is the entire length of the linea aspera of the femur
What is the Vastus medialis
200
# 40 on the man, runs from the head of the fibula and tibia to the heel
What is Soleus
300
the muscle whose function is flexion at the knee and extension and medial rotation at the hip.
What is the semitendinosus
300
Origin is the femur (distal half) and the insertion is the tibia
What is Vastus intermedius
300
the muscle used for extension at the ankle, the origin is the femor
What is the Gastrocnemius
300
The muscles used for flexing the knee and lateral rotation at the hip as when crossing your legs.
What is the Sartorius
300
# 35 on the man, runs from the pubis to the linear aspera of the femur, used in adduction, flexion and medial rotation at the hip
What is the Adductor longus
400
the muscle whose origin is at the femur and the insertion is at the fibula and the tibia (2 insertions) and is involved in flexion at the knee.
What is the Biceps femoris
400
Origin is the femur (femoral condyles) and the insertion is the calcaneus (heel)
What is the Gastrocmenius
400
The muscle used for extension at the ankle, the origin is the fibula and the tibia
What is the Soleus
400
Contains the muscles the Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus and the Biceps femoris.
What is the Hamstrings
400
#34 on the man, runs from the pubis to the surface of the tibia, used in flexion at the knee, adduction and medial rotation at the hip
What is the Grasilis
500
the muscle used for abduction and medial rotation at the hip. Also part of the extra padding.
What is the Gluteus medius
500
Origin is the iliac, the insertion is the tibia
What is the Rectus femoris
500
The tendon located at the back of the calf, attaching the gastocnemius to the calcaneus
What is the Calcaneal tendon
