Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sartorius muscle is a long, thin muscle that runs down the front of the thigh. Its primary action is to flex and externally rotate the hip joint. This combination of movements contributes to the anterior tilt of the pelvis at the hip joint, which is the correct option from the given choices. Extension of the thigh at the hip joint is performed by the gluteus maximus muscle, while posterior tilt of the pelvis at the hip joint is performed by the hamstrings muscles. Inversion of the foot at the subtalar joint is performed by the tibialis posterior muscle.
