126 THE PRINCIPLES OE MY(3DYNAMICS. 



119. The motions of the femur are — adduc- 

 tion, flexion, abduction, extension, in -rotation, 

 out-rotation, and circumduction : — 



(i.) The adductors of the femur are — The 

 proas magnus, the iHacus, the pectineus, the 

 graciHs, the adductor brevis, the adductor 

 longus, the adductor magnus, the quadratus 

 femoris, the obturator extensus, the semi-mem - 

 branosus, the semi-tendinosus, the biceps cruris, 

 and the inferior part of the ghiteus maximus. 



(ii.) The flexors of the femur are — The an- 

 terior part of the gluteus minimus, the psoas 

 magnus, the iHacus, the pectineus, the graciHs, 

 the adductor brevis, the adductor longus, the 

 sartorius, the tensor vaginae femoris, the rectus 

 femoris, and the obturator externus. 



(iii.) The abductors of the femur are — The 

 gluteus minimus, the gluteus medius, the glu- 

 teus maximus, the tensor vaginae femoris, the 

 sartorius, the pyriformis, and the rectus femoris. 



(iv.) The extensors of the femur are — The 

 gluteus maximus, the biceps cruris, the semi- 

 membranosus, the semi-tendinosus, and the 

 adductor magnus.
