From the option provided, sartorius; rectus femoris is the correct answer.

Three major types of muscles that are present in the interior compartment of the thigh and these muscles include:

  1. Pectineus
  2. Sartorius
  3. Quadriceps femoris.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The quadriceps femoris is also comprised of four muscles (three vastus and the rectus femoris).  The rectus femoris is a bulk of muscles that is within the anterior middle compartment of the thigh.

The rectus femoris crosses the hips and emanate from the ilium. This bulk of muscles is superior and contribute kneel flexion; it also helps iliopsoas muscle in hip flexion.

The Sartorius is also a type of muscle that is present in the interior compartment of the thigh and it is the longest in the body: It is thin and very long. The Sartorius is also known as honeymoon or tailor's muscle and it is located in the front of the thigh.

Some of the functions of the Sartorius's muscle include:

  • It assists in flexion and rotating of hips
  • It medially rotates the legs and can also rotate the thigh
  • The Sartorius muscle emanates from the anterior superior iliac spine which is located close to the edge of the hip bone

However, Pectineus are flat muscles and can be located within the upper and medial part of the thigh.

The correct answer is; sartorius; rectus femoris. 
The anterior compartment of the thigh contains the sartorius muscle (the longest muscle in the body) and the quadriceps femous group, which consists of the rectus femoris muscle and the three vasti muscles- the vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, and the vastus medialis.

TRUE OR FALSE?
Harrizon [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

I believe the correct answer is FALSE.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Innate immunity is a fast acting response to confront a pathogen but does not keep memory. It is initiated and carried out by cell and can be refered to as cellular immunity lasting for a short term.

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2><h3>Innate Immunity:</h3>

This is the first line of defence and involves only cells. It lasts for a short period usually around 12 hours. It includes physical barries. The cells involved are: epithelial cells, dendritic cells, plasma proteins and natural killer cells. All the cells involved are macrocytes. It functions to recognize and attack the pathogen before the second type of immunity called adaptive immunity sets in. It usually is also non specific and responds generally to any pathogen.

<h3>Adaptive Immunity:</h3>

It is a much more longer lasting type of immunities and has memory. It has a combination of cells and humoral components. It involves Naive B cells which are triggered to release antibodies known as Immunoglobulins depending on the cause of the trigger. Immunoglobulins include IgG, IgM, IgA, IgG  and IgD and are usually Y-shaped. Additionally, it involves Naive  T cells that are activated into Effector T-cells to assist in fighting the pathogen. This type of immunity is more focused and specific antibodies are released for specific infections/pathogens. It lasts up to 5 days or longer depending on the pathogen. It also takes time to mount up and produce a response.
