Which muscle of the medial compartment of the thigh does not insert onto the linea aspera of the femur?
Rectus femoris
What muscles are used in hip medial rotation?
Knee Rotation:- as extension progresses, shorter, more highly curved lateral condyle exhausts its articular surface andis checked by ACL, whereas larger and less curved medial condyle continues its forwardroll & skids backward, assisted by tightening of PCL;- result is a medial rotation of femur (external tibial rotation) that tightens collateral ligaments, & joint is "screwed home",to use mechanical phraseology;- flexion of extended knee is preceded by lateral rotation of femur (or medial rotation of tibia), usually produced by popliteus;- this rotation relaxes the tension of the collateral ligaments sufficiently to permit flexion;
Where are Medial and lateral condyles of the femur involved at?
The medial and lateral condyles of the femur are located in the knee. They articulate with the tibia.
Is the strongest of the hip flexor muscles?
The strongest Flexor of the hip (thigh) is illiopsoas muscle which is the merger of the illiacus and the psoas major muscle. The illiacus is on the medial side of the pelvic bone attaching to the femur and the psoas major muscle attaches from the lumbar vertebrae to the femur.
The medial condyle of the femur articulates with the medial condyle of the?
The medial condyle of the tibia
What bony landmark is located proximal medial portion of the thigh?
The lesser trochanter is on the proximal medial portion of the femur. The femur is the scientific name for the thigh bone.
How do you differentiate medial and lateral condyle of femur bone without marker?
If you are viewing the entire bone, you can differentiate the medial and lateral condyles by noting that the medial condyle is on the side with the head of the femur, and the lateral is on the side with the greater trochanter. If you have only the distal end of the femur available, then you can differentiate the condyles by noting that the medial condyle is longer and the lateral condyle is wider.
Is your femur a smooth muscle?
The femur is a bone in a person's leg - not a muscle !
Processes on the femur and tibia that form the knee joint?
The medial and lateral condyles, located on the femur and the tibia, form the knee joint. The medial condyle, which is closer to the center of the body, is larger.
Sites of muscle attachment on the proximal femur?
the medial epicondyle and the lateral epicondyle - The gluteal tuberosity and linea aspera
Is the femur the strongest muscle in the human body?
The femur is a bone, not a muscle. But it is the strongest bone.
What do the muscles on the medial side of the femur do?
You and adductor compartment on the medial side of the femur. The main muscles are adductor magnus, adductor longus and adductor brevis. These muscles adduct the thigh. They are very important muscles for horse rider.
