Difference between Femur and Pectineus muscle

Femur vs. Pectineus muscle

The femur (pl. femurs or femora) or thigh bone, is the most proximal (closest to the hip joint) bone of the leg in tetrapod vertebrates capable of walking or jumping, such as most land mammals, birds, many reptiles including lizards, and amphibians such as frogs. The pectineus muscle (from the Latin word pecten, meaning comb) is a flat, quadrangular muscle, situated at the anterior (front) part of the upper and medial (inner) aspect of the thigh.

Similarities between Femur and Pectineus muscle

Femur and Pectineus muscle have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adductor brevis muscle, Adductor longus muscle, Adductor muscles of the hip, Anatomical terms of location, Anterior compartment of thigh, Capsule of hip joint, External obturator muscle, Femoral artery, Lesser trochanter, Linea aspera, Medial compartment of thigh, Muscle, Pectineal line (femur), Psoas major muscle.

Adductor brevis muscle

The adductor brevis is a muscle in the thigh situated immediately deep to the pectineus and adductor longus.

Linea aspera

The linea aspera (rough line) is a ridge of roughened surface on the posterior surface of the shaft of the femur, to which are attached muscles and intermuscular septum.

Pectineal line (femur)

On the posterior surface of the femur, the intermediate ridge or pectineal line is continued to the base of the lesser trochanter and gives attachment to the pectineus muscle.

Psoas major muscle

The psoas major (from Greek: ψόας - psóās: 'of the loins', genitive singular form of ψόα - psóa 'the loins') is a long fusiform muscle located on the side of the lumbar region of the vertebral column and brim of the lesser pelvis.
