    The document discusses the innervation of the sartorius muscle. It states that the sartorius muscle is innervated by the femoral nerve and its actions include flexing and abducting the hip and flexing the knee. It also provides context that for the exam, students need to know the actions and innervations of thigh muscles but not origins and insertions, and as a rule of thumb the medial, anterior, and posterior thigh compartments are supplied by the obturator, femoral, and sciatic nerves respectively.

    For the exam you are expected to know the actions and innervations of
    all the thigh muscles. You don't need to know origins and insertions.
    When thinking about the thigh remember there are 3 compartments:
    medial, anterior and posterior and as a rule of thumb they are supplied
    by obturator, femoral and sciatic nerves respectively.
