Abstract
The hip joint is completely surrounded by muscles. The functions of the muscles can be inferred on the basis of their paths. The points of origin and attachment of the muscles surrounding the hip are illustrated in Figs. 2.1 and 2.2 (ventral view), in Figs. 2.3 and 2.4 (dorsal view) and 2.5 (lateral view). These drawings also show the attachment of the articular capsule of the hip joint and the position of the epiphyseal cartilage. The reflected head of the rectus femoris muscle is attached to the ventral capsule of the hip joint cranially.
