Across
  1. 2. main knee extensor, central, superficial, rectangular shaped
  2. 3. plantar flexor, one of three in anterior compartment of lower leg
  3. 9. main main hip flexor (thigh flexes at hip joint), originates in the iliac fossa
  4. 12. stability for hip joint, lateral rotation of femur, just inferior to piriformis
  5. 13. adducts and flexes the femur at hip joint, can be ‘seen’ from anterior view
  6. 15. tiny plantar flexor with very long tendon, originates on femur
  7. 16. originates on the anterior superior iliac spine, knee and hip flexor
  8. 19. main hip extensor, largest muscle on posterior aspect of pelvis
  9. 21. small adductor, most superior of adductors
  10. 22. stability for hip joint, lateral rotation of femur, just superior to quatratus femoris
  11. 23. lower leg flexion at knee, attaches laterally to knee joint
  12. 25. stability for hip joint, lateral rotation of femur, pyramid shaped
  13. 26. thigh adduction (at hip) and lower leg flexion (at knee), medial strap shaped muscle
  14. 27. stability for hip joint, lateral rotation of femur, square shaped
  15. 28. main knee extensor, deep to rectus femoris
  16. 29. lateral stabilizaer of ankle joint, plantarflexor, shorter muscle
  17. 31. main knee extensor, lateral
  18. 32. adducts, flexes and extends femur at hip, larges of the adductors
  19. 33. main knee extensor, medial
Down
  1. 1. main dorsiflexor of toes
  2. 4. main great toe plant flexor
  3. 5. main plantarflexor, works best when knee is fully extended
  4. 6. main hip flexor (thigh flexes at hip joint), originates on the lumbar vertebra
  5. 7. lower leg flexion at knee, attaches medially and is superficial
  6. 8. hip/thigh abductor
  7. 10. lateral stabilizer of ankle joint, plantarflexor, long slender tendon
  8. 11. small muscle that can rotate the tibia/fibula at the knee joint
  9. 14. stability for hip joint, lateral rotation of femur has a large belly on the internal surface of the pelvis
  10. 17. lower leg flexion at knee, attached medially but is deep to to the hamstrings
  11. 18. tenses the iliotibial band (tract) giving lateral stability to knee, hip flexor
  12. 20. dorsiflexor, attached to medial cuneiform and 1st metatarsal
  13. 24. main toe (2-4) plantar flexor
  14. 30. important plantarflexor, works well independent of knee flexion-extension
