The semitendinosus muscle inserts anterior to the insertion of this muscle.
QuestionChoice
The arrow points to the sartorius muscle, which forms the lateral border of the femoral triangle. This long, strap-like muscle originates from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and runs obliquely across the thigh to insert on the medial surface of the proximal tibia, as part of the pes anserinus. The sartorius assists in hip flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation, as well as knee flexion.
