Pectineal Tubercle

	Pectineal Tubercle Pectineal may refer to: * Musculi pectinati of the heart, also known as pectinate muscles * Pectineus muscle, an adductor of the thigh * Pectineal line (femur) * Pectineal line (pubis), also known as the pecten pubis * Pectineal ligament, or Cooper's Ligament, located along the pecten pubis {{Disambig ...

	Musculi Pectinati The pectinate muscles (musculi pectinati) are parallel muscular ridges in the walls of the atria of the heart. Structure Behind the crest (crista terminalis) of the right atrium the internal surface is smooth. Pectinate muscles make up the part of the wall in front of this, the right atrial appendage. In the left atrium, the pectinate muscles are confined to the inner surface of its atrial appendage. They tend to be fewer and smaller than in the right atrium. This is due to the embryological origin of the auricles, which are the true atria. Some sources cite that the pectinate muscles are useful in increasing the power of contraction without increasing heart mass substantially. Pectinate muscles of the atria are different from the trabeculae carneae, which are found on the inner walls of both ventricles. The pectinate muscles originate from the crista terminalis. Name The pectinate muscles are so-called because of their resemblance to the teeth of a comb, as in pecten P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	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. The pectineus muscle is the most anterior adductor of the hip. The muscle does adduct and internally rotate the thigh but its primary function is hip flexion. It can be classified in the medial compartment of thigh (when the function is emphasized) or the anterior compartment of thigh (when the nerve is emphasized). Structure The pectineus muscle arises from the pectineal line of the pubis and to a slight extent from the surface of bone in front of it, between the iliopectineal eminence and pubic tubercle, and from the fascia covering the anterior surface of the muscle; the fibers pass downward, backward, and lateral, to be inserted into the pectineal line of the femur which leads from the lesser trochanter to the linea aspera.

	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 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.

	Pectineal Line (pubis) The pectineal line of the pubis (also pecten pubis) is a ridge on the superior ramus of the pubic bone. It forms part of the pelvic brim. Lying across from the pectineal line are fibers of the pectineal ligament, and the proximal origin of the pectineus muscle. In combination with the arcuate line, it makes the iliopectineal line.
