sartorius muscle









































the sartorius muscle () is the longest muscle in the human body. it is a long, thin, superficial muscle that runs down the length of the thigh in the anterior compartment.









































the sartorius is also called the honeymoon muscle.









































sartorius comes from the latin word "sartor", meaning tailor, and it is sometimes called the tailor's muscle.









































this name was chosen in reference to the cross-legged position in which tailors once sat. in french, a muscle name itself "couturier" comes from this specific position which is referred to as "sitting as a tailor" (in french : "s'asseoir en tailleur").

strap muscles are shaped like a strap or belt and have fibers that run longitudinally to the contraction direction. these muscles have broad attachments compared to other muscle types and can shorten to about 40%-60% of their resting length. strap muscles, such as the laryngeal muscles, have been thought to control the fundamental frequency used in speech production, as well as singing. another example of this muscle is the longest muscle in the human body, the sartorius.
