    The anterior compartment of the thigh contains four muscles - the iliacus, psoas major, pectineus, and sartorius. The iliacus and psoas major both originate in the lower back and pelvis and insert into the femur, flexing the thigh. The pectineus originates in the pelvis and inserts into the femur, flexing and adducting the thigh. The sartorius crosses from the pelvis to the tibia, flexing, abducting, and externally rotating the thigh. The femoral artery and nerve supply blood and innervation, respectively, to these muscles.
