Muscles in the Posterior Compartment of the Leg There are four muscles in the deep compartment of the posterior leg. One muscle, the popliteus, acts only on the knee joint. The remaining three muscles (tibialis posterior, flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus) act on the ankle and foot.ig 1.1 – Muscles in the deep layer of the posterior leg. The popliteus is located superiorly in the leg. It lies behind the knee joint, forming the base of the popliteal fossa. There is a bursa (fluid filled sac) that lies between the popliteal tendon and the posterior surface of the knee joint.

Vastus medialis 1 The obliquus genus muscle is the most distal segment of the vastus medialis muscle. 2  Its specific training plays an important role in maintaining patella position and limiting injuries to the knee. 3  With no clear delineation, it is simply the most distal fibers of the vastus medialis. The fibers converge onto the inner (medial) part of the quadriceps femoris tendon and the inner (medial) border of the patella. 2  The obliquus genus muscle is the most distal segment of the vastus medialis muscle.

Human leg Of the anterior thigh muscles the largest are the four muscles of the quadriceps femoris: the central rectus femoris, which is surrounded by the three vasti, the vastus intermedius, medialis, and lateralis. Rectus femoris is attached to the pelvis with two tendons, while the vasti are inserted to the femur.

Muscles of the Gluteal Region The gluteus minimus is the deepest and smallest of the superficial gluteal muscles. It is similar is shape and function to the gluteus medius. 1  Attachments: Originates from the ilium and converges to form a tendon, inserting to the anterior side of the greater trochanter.

Superficial flexors of the forearm 1 That muscle is the most lateral of all superficial flexors. 2  Innervation: median nerve (C6-C7). 3  Flexor carpi radialis muscle: runs from the common flexor tendon at the humerus to the bases of the second and third metacarpal bones.he superficial flexors of the forearm are a group of five muscles found at the anterior forearm. They form the surface of the ulnar side of the forearm where they can also be easily palpated. Their long tendons can be followed very well at the wrist joint, especially during flexion.

Muscles in the Medial Compartment of the Thigh Muscles in the Medial Compartment of the Thigh. The muscles in the medial compartment of the thigh are collectively known as the hip adductors. There are five muscles in this group; gracilis, obturator externus, adductor brevis, adductor longus and adductor magnus. All the medial thigh muscles are innervated by the obturator nerve, which arises from the lumbar plexus.

MUSCLES OF THIGH AND THE HIP ANATOMY The uppermost of the medial thigh muscles is the pectineus muscle. Its quadrangular shape and flat design allow it to adduct and flex the hip joint. Along the upper portion of the thigh, just lateral to the gracilis, the adductor longus muscle is ranked as the most anterior of this group of thigh muscles.

Thigh and Gluteal Region Semimembranosus is the most medial of the three hamstring muscles. Chronically tight hamstrings are often a contributary factor to lower back pain and knee pain. Origin : Ischial tuberosity. Insertion : Posterior part of the medial condyle of the tibia. Actions : Hip extension. Knee flexion. Internal rotation of the hip when the knee is flexed. Innervation : Tibial part of the sciatic nerve.
