Which muscles insert on the femur?
Some muscles that insert on the femur include the quadriceps muscles (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius), the hamstrings (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus), the iliopsoas, and the adductor muscles (adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus).
What are the tendons between the legs that lead from the upper inner thigh to the groin?
The muscles of the inner thigh whose tendons lead to the pubis bone of your hip are called the hip adductor muscles. The most superficial of these muscles are the gracilis and the adductor longus.
What is the name of the antagonist to extensor hallucis longus?
flexor hallucis longus, flexor hallucis brevis
What muscle adducts and flexes the hip?
Gluteus maximus. The hamstrings (semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris) also aid in hip extension however they also perform knee flexion. Therefore gluteus maximus is the power extensor of the hip =) -- I also have some additional information to add to the above paragraph. The Gluteus maximus muscle is attached proximally to the ilium posterior to the posterior gluteal line, the dorsal surface of the sacrum and coccyx, and the sacrotuberous ligament; and distally to the iliotibial tract then inserts into the lateral tibial condyle, with some fibres inserting onto the gluteal tuberosity of the femur. It is innervated by the inferior gluteal nerve, the origin of which is spinal levels L5, S1 and S2 in this case. As well as extending the thigh at the hip (hip extension), it assists in the thigh's lateral (external) rotation, steadies the thigh, and assists in raising the trunk from the flexed position.

What is the function of the adductors?
The main function of the adductor muscles is to propel the legs towards the midline of the body. The four groups of adductor muscles are adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor Magnus and gracilis.
What is the prime mover for hip adduction?
The adductor muscles of the hip are four in number: the adductor brevis, the adductor longus, the adductor magnus and the adductor minimus. All the hip adductors originate from the pubis and insert at the medial side of the femur.
How many adductor muscles are there?
