SUMMARY
1. SARTORIUS - arises from the ASIS, spirals obliquely across the thigh, passes downwards on the roof of the adductor canal and together with the tendons of the GRACILIS + SEMITENDINOSUS forms a conjoint tendon (Pes Anserinus) to be inserted into the anteromedial subcutaneous surface of the proximal tibia. Supplied by the anterior division of the femoral nerve.
2. QUADRICEPS FEMORIS - described in a separate section.
