Adductor brevis muscle

The adductor brevis is a muscle in the thigh situated immediately deep to the pectineus and adductor longus.

Adductor longus muscle

In the human body, the adductor longus is a skeletal muscle located in the thigh.

Adductor muscles of the hip

The adductor muscles of the hip are a group of muscles in the medial compartment of the thigh mostly used for bringing the thighs together (called adduction).

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Adductor muscles of the hip

Anterior compartment of thigh

The anterior compartment of thigh contains muscles which extend the knee and flex the hip.

Articularis genus muscle

The articularis genus (also known as the subcrureus muscle) is a small skeletal muscle located anteriorly on the thigh just above the knee.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Articularis genus muscle

Biceps femoris muscle

The biceps femoris is a muscle of the thigh located to the posterior, or back.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Biceps femoris muscle

Compartment syndrome

Compartment syndrome is a condition in which increased pressure within one of the body's anatomical compartments results in insufficient blood supply to tissue within that space.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Compartment syndrome

Deep fascia

Deep fascia (or investing fascia) is a fascia, a layer of dense connective tissue that can surround individual muscles and groups of muscles to separate into fascial compartments.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Deep fascia

External obturator muscle

The external obturator muscle or obturator externus muscle (OE) is a flat, triangular muscle, which covers the outer surface of the anterior wall of the pelvis.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and External obturator muscle

Fascia lata

The fascia lata is the deep fascia of the thigh. Fascial compartments of thigh and fascia lata are lower limb anatomy.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Fascia lata

Fascial compartment

A fascial compartment is a section within the body that contains muscles and nerves and is surrounded by deep fascia.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Fascial compartment

Fascial compartments of arm

The fascial compartments of arm refers to the specific anatomical term of the compartments within the upper segment of the upper limb (the arm) of the body.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Fascial compartments of arm

Femoral nerve

The femoral nerve is a nerve in the thigh that supplies skin on the upper thigh and inner leg, and the muscles that extend the knee.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Femoral nerve

Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth

The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth is the graduate medical school of Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire.

Gracilis muscle

The gracilis muscle (Latin for "slender") is the most superficial muscle on the medial side of the thigh.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Gracilis muscle

Lateral intermuscular septum of thigh

The lateral intermuscular septum of thigh is a fold of deep fascia in the thigh. Fascial compartments of thigh and lateral intermuscular septum of thigh are lower limb anatomy and Musculoskeletal system stubs.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Lateral intermuscular septum of thigh

The medial compartment of thigh is one of the fascial compartments of the thigh and contains the hip adductor muscles and the gracilis muscle.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Medial compartment of thigh

The medial intermuscular septum of thigh is a fold of deep fascia in the thigh. Fascial compartments of thigh and medial intermuscular septum of thigh are lower limb anatomy and Musculoskeletal system stubs.

Muscle

Muscle is a soft tissue, one of the four basic types of animal tissue.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Muscle

Obturator nerve

The obturator nerve in human anatomy arises from the ventral divisions of the second, third, and fourth lumbar nerves in the lumbar plexus; the branch from the third is the largest, while that from the second is often very small.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Obturator nerve

Pectineus muscle

The pectineus muscle (from the Latin word pecten, meaning comb) is a flat, quadrangular muscle, situated at the anterior (front) part of the upper and medial (inner) aspect of the thigh.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Pectineus muscle

Posterior compartment of thigh

The posterior compartment of the thigh is one of the fascial compartments that contains the knee flexors and hip extensors known as the hamstring muscles, as well as vascular and nervous elements, particularly the sciatic nerve.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Posterior compartment of thigh

Quadriceps

The quadriceps femoris muscle (also called the quadriceps extensor, quadriceps or quads) is a large muscle group that includes the four prevailing muscles on the front of the thigh.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Quadriceps

Rectus femoris muscle

The rectus femoris muscle is one of the four quadriceps muscles of the human body.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Rectus femoris muscle

Sartorius muscle

The sartorius muscle is the longest muscle in the human body.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Sartorius muscle

Sciatic nerve

The sciatic nerve, also called the ischiadic nerve, is a large nerve in humans and other vertebrate animals.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Sciatic nerve

Semimembranosus muscle

The semimembranosus muscle is the most medial of the three hamstring muscles in the thigh.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Semimembranosus muscle

Semitendinosus muscle

The semitendinosus is a long superficial muscle in the back of the thigh.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Semitendinosus muscle

Thigh

In anatomy, the thigh is the area between the hip (pelvis) and the knee. Fascial compartments of thigh and thigh are lower limb anatomy.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Thigh

Vastus intermedius muscle

The vastus intermedius (Cruraeus) arises from the front and lateral surfaces of the body of the femur in its upper two-thirds, sitting under the rectus femoris muscle and from the lower part of the lateral intermuscular septum.

See Fascial compartments of thigh and Vastus intermedius muscle

Vastus lateralis muscle

The vastus lateralis, also called the vastus externus, is the largest and most powerful part of the quadriceps femoris, a muscle in the thigh.
