Question

12 multiple choice 1 point
which of the following is the insertion of the gemellus superior?
lesser trochanter
ischial tuberosity
trochanteric fossa
medial surface of greater trochanter
clear my selection

Explanation:

The gemellus superior muscle inserts into the trochanteric fossa of the femur. The lesser trochanter is an attachment site for other muscles (e.g., iliopsoas). The ischial tuberosity is the origin site for the hamstring muscles and part of the gemellus superior's origin - related structures (as it originates from the ischial spine). The medial surface of the greater trochanter is not the correct insertion site for the gemellus superior.

Answer:

Trochanteric fossa
