The saphenous nerve and artery pass between the distal part of these two muscles and the sartorius. Sirena (1871) remarks that the origin is not from an anterosuperior iliac spine, but lower down on the anterior border of the coxal bone above what he calls the anteroinferior iliac spine. I have observed a well-defined though small eminence at this point. In other respects the muscle is said (Sirena, 1871) to be like that of Figure 39.—Lateral view of the knee (1, m. rectus femoris;

Nerve supply: Two branches of the femoral nerve reach the undersurface of the sartorius proximally. The saphenous nerve pro- vides an additional branch to the deep aspect of its distal third. Function: Flexes the femur on the hip bone. Also flexes the knee, and in this position it rotates the hind limb laterally, bringing it in abduction. This last effect is important in the quadrupedal arboreal movements of the animal when he carries these extremities partially flexed and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States National Museum; Smithsonian Institution; United States.
