Prevertebral muscles (immediately after vertebrae): The longus coli and longus capitis muscles (coli = neck; capitis = head) ___ the cervical vertebrae and head. They lie on the anterior surface of the cervical and upper thoracic ____ but are not easily seen in any lab model since they are covered by the esophagus, trachea, and the ventral muscles. | flex vertebrae |

They also laterally flex the ___ when working unilaterally. | infrahyoid hyoid two ribs breathing neck |
| The Axial Muscles: Thorax Muscles Thorax muscles also can be divided into three groups: 1. Prevertebral muscles: The ___ ___ muscles (previous page) begin in the thorax. But since the vertebrae are relatively ____ in the thorax, most of its vertebrae do NOT have prevertebral muscles. | longus coli immobile |

| Lower Limb Muscles: The Hip Muscles Flexion and Extension Extension of the femur is accomplished by the ____ _____. It originates from the iliac crest and sacrum and it’s distal tendon attaches to the posterior femur. Some of its tendon forms the _____ (IT) tract. The IT tract or band is a tough region of the deep fascia encasing the leg, the tensor fascia lata, that extends to the lateral surface of the proximal tibia.

Together, they pass under the ___ ______ and insert on the _____ trochanter. Another flexor is the ___ ____ ____, which is responsible for swinging the leg forward when walking. It originates from the iliac crest and inserts on the __ ____. | gluteus maximus iliotibial iliopsoas lumbar inguinal ligament lesser tensor fascia lata IT tract |
| Lower Limb Muscles: The Hip Muscles Rotation The lateral hip rotators include several muscles. Those dedicated to the task are attached deep on the posterior pelvis and sacrum.

| Lower Limb Muscles: The Hip Muscles Abduction The primary abductor of the femur is the gluteus ____, which lies deep to the larger g. maximus. It originates from the lateral surface of the ilium and inserts on the _____ trochanter. Aside from abduction, this muscle stabilizes your hips when the contralateral leg is ___ bearing weight. | medius greater not |
| Lower Limb Muscles: The Hip Muscles Adduction The adductors are located on the medial surface of the femur. The _____ is the shortest of these muscles and can be seen just medial and deep to the large femoral nerve, artery, and vein on the lab models. Recall from the your study of pelvis osteology that the pectineus muscle has its origin at the pectineal ____. A group of three adductor muscles originate on the ___ ____ of the pubis. They include the adductor ___, ____, & ____ muscles. These muscles along with the pectineus insert on the posterior and medial femur. The longest adductor is the _____. While sharing an origin with the other adductors on the inferior ramus, it travels further to the medial surface of the ____ for its insertion. As can be seen from their attachments, the adductors pull the leg ____. | pectineus line inferior ramus brevis, longus, & magnus gracilis tibia inward |
| Lower Limb Muscles: Knee Muscles The flexors and extensors of the tibia are among the _____ muscles in the body. The quadriceps on the anterior surface of the femur are the main _____, and the flexors on the posterior surface are known as the _____. | strongest extensors hamstrings |
| Lower Limb Muscles: Knee Muscles Flexors of the Knee: The Posterior Compartment of the Thigh The “hamstring” muscles ____ the knee. They all originate from the ischial _____. Their insertions are on the medial surface of the tibia (________ & ________), or the lateral surface of the fibular head (___ ______). The biceps are so-called due to their two “heads.” The long head originates with the other ______, while the ____ head originates from the posterior femur. Thus, it can be said that their are 4 hamstring muscles. Lastly, a small muscle spans the popliteal region, from the tibia __ to the femur. This short rotator that unlocks the knee is the _____ muscle. It has a minor role in _____.

Although all of these muscles have a very minor role in plantarflexion, the primary action of the flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus are ____ of the 2nd-5th toes and flexion of the hallux, respectively. Notice the position of these muscles on the posterior surface of the leg.
