Question 1 Anterior Thigh

The following muscles are part of the Quadriceps mechanism

1 Vastus Intermedius

2 Sartorius

4 Vastus Lateralis

5 Rectus Femoris

Question 2 - Anterior Thigh

The following muscles are part of the Quadriceps mechanism

1 Vastus Intermedius T

2 Sartorius F

3 Biceps Femoris F

4 Vastus Lateralis T

5 Rectus Femoris T


The Quadriceps comprises four muscles-Rectus Femoris-Vastus Medialis-Vastus Intermedius-Vastus Lateralis

Vastus Lateralis Muscle

1 is attached, in part, to the intertrochanteric line of the femur

2 overlaps vastus intermedius

3 is overlapped by rectus femoris

4 is innervated by the sciatic nerve

5 forms the lateral boundary of the adductor canal


Vastus Lateralis Muscle

1 is attached, in part, to the intertrochanteric line of the femur

T

2 overlaps vastus intermedius

T

3 is overlapped by rectus femoris

T

4 is innervated by the sciatic nerve

F

5 forms the lateral boundary of the adductor canal

F


The vastus lateralis is part of quadriceps femoris, and is innervated by the femoral nerve, not the sciatic nerve.It is vastus medialis, not vastus lateralis, that forms the lateral boundary of the adductor canal.

This muscle

1 arises from the ischium

2 Arises from the pubis

3 Arises from the anterior superior iliac spine

4 Arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine

5 Arises from the ilium


This muscle

1 arises from the ischium F

2 Arises from the pubis F

3 Arises from the anterior superior iliac spine

F

4 Arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine

T

5 Arises from the ilium T


This is rectus femoris which arises by two heads;Straight head: from the anterior inferior iliac spineReflected head: from a narrow strip of ilium just above acetabulum

Concerning Sartorius Muscle

1 It is a flexor of the hip joint

2 Its medial border forms the lateral boundary of the femoral triangle

3 It is crossed on its deep aspect by the lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh

4 It arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine

5 It is innervated by the femoral nerve


Concerning Sartorius Muscle

1 It is a flexor of the hip joint T

2 Its medial border forms the lateral boundary of the femoral triangle

T

3 It is crossed on its deep aspect by the lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh

F

4 It arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine F

5 It is innervated by the femoral nerve

T


The lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh, also known as the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, crosses superficial to Sartorius.

Sartorius arises from the anterior superior iliac spine

Concerning Vastus Intermedius

1 It is supplied in part by the obturator nerve

2 It is a hamstring muscle

3 It is supplied by the femoral nerve

4 It arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine

5 It extends the knee


Concerning Vastus Intermedius

1 It is supplied in part by the obturator nerve F

2 It is a hamstring muscle F

3 It is supplied by the femoral nerve T

4 It arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine F

5 It extends the knee T


Vastus Intermedius is a Quadriceps muscle that arises from the anterior and lateral aspects of the femoral shaft.The straight head of the rectus femoris arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine.It is supplied entirely by the femoral nerve.

The Vastus Lateralis arises from the

1 Intertrochanteric crest

2 Lesser trochanter

3 Intertrochanteric line

4 Lateral supracondylar ridge

5 Greater trochanter


The Vastus Lateralis arises from the

1 Intertrochanteric crest F

2 Lesser trochanter F

3 Intertrochanteric line T

4 Lateral supracondylar ridge T

5 Greater trochanter T


Vastus lateralis arises from the femur as follows;-superior half of intertrochanteric line-anterior and inferior borders of greater trochanter-lateral lip of linea aspera-lateral supracondylar ridge

The muscle in the diagram

1 Is part of the quadriceps mechanism

2 Flexes the knee

3 Is supplied by the femoral nerve

4 Arises from lateral lip of the linea aspera

5 Adducts the thigh

2 Flexes the knee F

3 Is supplied by the femoral nerve T

4 Arises from lateral lip of the linea aspera F

5 Adducts the thigh F


This is vastus medialis, part of the quadriceps mechanism.It arises from the femur as follows;-inferior half of intertrochanteric line-spiral line-medial lip of linea aspera-medial supracondylar ridge of femur-medial intermuscular septum.

It extends the knee.

Sartorius muscle attaches to the following bones

1 ilium

2 femur

3 fibula

4 tibia

5 ischium


Sartorius muscle attaches to the following bones

1 ilium T

2 femur F

3 fibula F

4 tibia T

5 ischium F


Sartorius originates from the anterior superior iliac spine of the ilium of the hip bone and inserts onto the superior aspect of medial surface of tibial shaft

A cross-sectional CT scan of the thigh halfway between the hip and knee joints will show:

1 the psoas major tendon postero-medial to the femur

2 the sartorius muscle on the medial aspect of the thigh

3 the lateral head of gastrocnemius

4 the adductor hiatus

5 the vastus lateralis muscle arising from the posterior aspect of the femoral shaft

5 the vastus lateralis muscle arising from the posterior aspect of the femoral shaft

T


Psoas major inserts onto the lesser trochanter and does not extend to mid-thigh level.The lateral head of gastrocnemius is considerably distal to mid-thigh level.The adductor hiatus is distal to mid-thigh level.
