Human thigh muscles

The muscles of the hip are divided into anterior, medial and posterior. The anterior group is predominantly the extensors. The medial group is formed by the muscles of the hip. To the rear - carry flexors.

The front group includes a sartorius muscle that performs flexion of the shin and thigh and simultaneous rotation of the thigh to the outside and the shins inward. In this case, the leg is thrown onto the leg. This muscle is included in the category of the longest muscles. It is presented in the form of a narrow long ribbon, starting from the upper part of the iliac spine, located in the front. It is attached to the knobby region of the tibia and on the fascia fascia site by separate bundles.

The quadriceps muscle also enters the anterior group. It consists of four heads, with the reduction of which the shin unbends. This largest muscle is located on the front lateral femoral plane. In the lower sections, a complete transition to the lateral plane occurs.

To the anterior muscles are also the rectus femur, lateral wide, medial wide, intermediate wide. Their heads, growing together, form a common tendon. It is attached to the lateral edges and top of the patella.

The tension of the knee joint bag is carried out by the joint muscle. It is presented in the form of a thin plate. It is located on the front plane of the thigh under a wide intermediate muscle. Its beginning is located in the anterior portion of the lower third of the bone. It is attached to the lateral and anterior plane of the bag of the knee joint.

Medial thigh muscles include a scallop muscle, flexing and leading the thigh. It also ensures its rotation outside. The muscle is presented in the form of a quadrangular plate. It starts on the upper branch and crest of the pubic bone.

The thin muscle carries the hip reduction and participates in the flexion of the shin, while the leg turns inward. It is located directly under the skin. It starts from the lower branch of the bones of the pubis and is attached to the tuberous region of the tibia.

The medial group also includes short, long and large adductor muscles.

The most powerful of them is considered large. She leads the thigh and partly rotates it outward. It starts from the ischial hillock and from the lower branch of the pubic bone and from the branch that extends from the ischium bone.

The short and long muscles of the hip are involved in its reduction and rotation to the outside. The second looks like an irregular triangle and is on the femoral front median plane. The first is presented in the form of a triangle and starts from the anterior plane of the lower branch of the pubic bone.

The posterior group includes the biceps muscle, which is responsible for the extension of the thigh and flexion of the shin. In the bent position, the shin is rotated outwards. With the help of the semitendinous muscle, the thigh extensions are performed, the leg is flexed. In the bent position, it participates in the rotation of the shin inward. In addition, she participates in the extension of the body. Semimembranous muscle participates in flexion and rotation inside the shin and extension of the thigh. On the site of tendon division into separate bundles is located its synovial bag.

Pain in the muscles of the hip may be the result of injuries or injuries. Often they occur after a long load. Pain in the muscles of the hip can be both acute and chronic. The causes of its occurrence can be arthrosis, which affects the hip joint, a metabolic disorder, rheumatic processes, bone diseases.

It is only the specialist who can diagnose the cause of the pain. In this case, the diagnosis in the early stages can provide the right therapy.
