QuestionChoice
The arrow points to the tensor fasciae latae muscle, which tightens the fascia lata, the deep fascia of the thigh. This muscle assists in abducting and medially rotating the lower limb, while also stabilising the pelvis and knee during activities such as walking or running. It does not extend and laterally rotate the lower limb.
