What is the Sartorius Muscle?
Sartorius Muscle- Structure: The Sartorius Muscle is a long, thin muscle that is located on the front of the thigh. It is the longest muscle in the body and is responsible for bending the knee and rotating the hip.
Sartorius Muscle Origin and Insertion
The Sartorius muscle is a long, thin muscle that originates on the anterior superior iliac spine and inserts on the medial surface of the tibia. It is the longest muscle in the body and is also responsible for flexing the hip and knee.
Functions of the Sartorius Muscle
The sartorius muscle is a long, narrow muscle that extends from the upper portion of the femur to the lower portion of the tibia. This muscle is responsible for a number of functions, including:
- Flexing the hip joint
- Flexing the knee joint
- Rotating the leg outward
The sartorius muscle used in a number of activities, including walking, running, and climbing stairs. This muscle is also used when sitting down and standing up.
The Blood Supply in the Sartorius Muscle
The Sartorius Muscle supplied with blood by the femoral artery and the saphenous vein. The femoral artery is a large artery in the thigh that supplies blood to the muscles and skin in the thigh. Therefore the saphenous vein is a large vein in the leg that collects blood from the veins in the leg. The blood supplied to the Sartorius Muscle helps to nourish the muscle and remove waste products.
