  32. iliotibial tract acts as the tendon insertion for:
    • gluteus maximus
    • tensor fascia lata
  33. the iliotibial tract attaches:
    proximal ileum to proximal tibia
  34. what are the flexor muscles?
    • psoas major
    • iliacus
    • rectus femoris
    • sartorius
  35. which muscles pass under the inguinal ligament & over the pubic ramis?
    • psoas major
    • iliacus
  36. attachments for psoas major?
    • lumbar spine (transverse processes of all 5 lumbar veterbra)
    • lateral portions of bodies & veterbral discs
  37. attachments for iliacus?
    • iliac crest (inner aspect)
    • lesser trochanter
  38. attachments for rectus femoris:
    • 2 heads on AIIS & slightly superior to acetabulum
    • tibial tuberosity
  39. attachments for Sartorius:
    • ASIS
    • superior part of medial surface of tibia
  40. function of Sartorius:
    helps to flex the hip & it can also produce lateral rotation @ the hip
