The primary muscles that attach to the lumbar vertebrae and the femur include the psoas major and the iliacus, which together form the iliopsoas muscle. The psoas major originates from the lumbar vertebrae and inserts onto the lesser trochanter of the femur, playing a crucial role in hip flexion. Additionally, the quadratus lumborum muscle, which stabilizes the lumbar spine, indirectly influences the femur's position through its connection to the pelvis.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the function of a lions femur?
The femur in a lion attaches the thigh with the tibia. The function of this large bone is to help the animal achieve great speeds when running and to sustain its weight.
Where do most muscles that move the thigh originate at?
well there are many muscles that can move the femur in one way or another. 1 of the quadriceps can move the femur (rectus femoris) which attaches to the front of the ilium. All 3 hamstring muscles can move the femur backwards and all attach to the ischial tuberosity. The adductor muscles can move the thigh and all 3 attach to the pubis.
What are the common and medical names for human bones?

What muscles attach to which bones?
The muscles of the body attach to bones via tendons. Different muscles attach to different bones to create movement at various joints in the body. For example, the biceps muscle attaches to the radius bone in the forearm, while the quadriceps muscle group attaches to the femur bone in the thigh.
What attaches to the acetabulum?
Femur (thigh bone) fits into acetabulum.
What attaches the greater trochanter to lesser trochanter?
The intertrochanteric line attaches the greater trochanter to the lesser trochanter on the femur. This line serves as a point of attachment for various muscles that play a role in hip movement and stabilization.
What Category of bones that support the body's weight and work with the muscles to provide movement is called what?
The category of bones that support the body's weight and work with muscles to provide movement is called the skeletal system. It includes bones such as the femur, tibia, and vertebrae, which support the body and articulate with muscles to allow for movement.
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.
What is some example of an appendicular bone?
pelvic bone,femur,skull,scapula,vertebrae and humerus
Where is a vertebra located in the human body?
L5 is the largest vertebrae. Although the body of L4 looks larger, the increased height of L5 makes it larger overall. Found this info from "The Anatomy and Biology of the Human Skeleton" by D Gentry Steele and Claud Bramblett
Is the knee cap deep to the femur?
The knee cap or (Patella) is distal and superficial to the femur. There are many tendons of muscles that originate on the femur that insert in the the patella, thus the patella and femur are closely related anatomically.
