it covers the Pectineus , Adductor longus , and Gracilis , and , passing behind the
sheath femoral vessels , to which it is closely united , is continuous with the
of the
iliopectineal fascia , and is attached to the pectineal line.
From this description it may be observed that the superficial portion of the
fascia lata lies in front of the femoral vessels , and the deep portion behind them ,
so that an apparent aperture exists between the two , through which the great
saphenous passes to join the femoral vein .
The Sartorius , the longest muscle in the body , is narrow and ribbon - like ; it
arises by tendinous fibers from the anterior superior iliac spine and the upper half
of the notch below it . It passes obliquely across the upper and anterior part of
the thigh , from the lateral to the medial side of the limb , then descends vertically ,
as far as the medial side of the knee , passing behind the medial condyle of the femur
to end in a tendon . This curves obliquely forward and expands into a broad apon
eurosis , which is inserted , in front of theGracilis and Semitendinous , into the upper
part of the medial surface of the body of the tibia , nearly as far forward as the
anterior crest . The upper part of the aponeurosis is curved backward over the
upper edge of the tendon of the Gracilis so as to be inserted behind it . An offset ,
upper margin blends with the capsule the knee joint and another
