Description[edit | edit source]
The sartorius muscle is a thin, long, superficial muscle in the anterior compartment of the thigh.[1] It runs down the length of the thigh, runs over 2 joints- hip and knee joints [2] and is the longest muscle in the human body.[1] An exceptional length of this muscle often exceeds 50cm.[3] In such long muscles not all muscle fibres run through the whole length of the muscle belly.[2] It is estimated that at the most 30–50% of fibres run from tendon to tendon.[2] The rest of them end intrafascicularly.[2] The length of a single fibre is estimated at 35–45 cm.[4]
