  • Gracilis muscle
    The gracilis (/ˈɡræsᵻlᵻs/) (Latin for "slender") is the most superficial muscle on the medial side of the thigh.
  • Pectineus muscle
    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.
  • Biceps femoris muscle
    The biceps femoris (/ˈbaɪsɛps ˈfɛmərᵻs/) is a muscle of the thigh located to the posterior, or back.
  • Sartorius muscle
    The sartorius muscle (/sɑːrˈtɔəri.əs/) is the longest muscle in the human body.
  • Quadriceps femoris muscle
    The quadriceps femoris (/ˈkwɒdrᵻsɛps ˈfɛmərᵻs/) (Latin for "four-headed muscle of the femur"), also called simply the quadriceps, quadriceps extensor, or quads, is a large muscle group that includes the four prevailing muscles on the front of the thigh.
  • Adductor brevis muscle
    The adductor brevis is a muscle in the thigh situated immediately deep to the pectineus and adductor longus.
  • Adductor longus muscle
    In the human body, the adductor longus is a skeletal muscle located in the thigh.
  • Adductor magnus muscle
    The adductor magnus is a large triangular muscle, situated on the medial side of the thigh.
  • Semimembranosus muscle
    The semimembranosus (/ˌsɛmimɛmbrəˈnoʊsəs/) is a muscle in the back of the thigh.
  • Tensor fasciae latae muscle
    The tensor fasciae latae (or tensor fasciæ latæ) (/ˈtɛnsər ˈfæʃi.iː ˈleɪtiː/) is a muscle of the thigh.
  • Semitendinosus muscle
    The semitendinosus (/ˌsɛmitɛndᵻˈnoʊsəs/) is a long superficial muscle in the back of the thigh; it is one of the hamstrings.
  • Articularis genus muscle
    The articularis genus (subcrureus) is a small skeletal muscle located anteriorly on the thigh just above the knee.
  • Tensor vastus intermedius muscle
    Tensor vastus intermedius is a muscle in the anterior compartment of thigh.
  • Adductor minimus muscle
    In human anatomy, the adductor minimus (adductor femoris minimus or adductor quartus) is a small and flat skeletal muscle in the thigh which constitutes the upper, lateral part of the adductor magnus muscle.
  • Adductor muscles of the hip
    In human anatomy, the adductor muscles of the hip are a group of muscles of the thigh.
