Quick Reference: Key Muscle Memory Rules
- Common flexor origin = medial epicondyle of humerus (all forearm flexors + pronator teres)
- Common extensor origin = lateral epicondyle of humerus (all forearm extensors)
- Pes anserinus = gracilis + sartorius + semitendinosus insert on medial tibia (mnemonic: Girls Sew Stockings)
- SITS = rotator cuff: Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor (all insert on greater tubercle), Subscapularis (lesser tubercle)
- Adductor tubercle = adductor magnus hamstring head only
- Achilles tendon = gastrocnemius + soleus (triceps surae) into calcaneus
