Gemellus Inferior
O: ischial tuberosity
I: medial surface of greater trochanter

Psoas Major
O: Bodies and transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae
I: lesser trochanter
A: origin fixed-
Flex coxal
laterally rotate coxal (may)
insertion fixed-
flex trunk toward the thigh
tilt pelvis 'anteriorly' as in tucking tail in
unilaterally-
assist to laterally flex lumbar spine

Iliacus
O: iliac fossa
I: lesser trochanter

insertion fixed-
flex trunk toward thigh
tilt pelvis 'anteriorly' as in tucking tail in

Psoas Minor (only 40% of people have this muscle)
O: body and transverse process of first lumbar vertebrae

tilt pelvis


Other structures of the pelvis and thigh

inguinal ligament, sartorius, adductor longus
