Question

Answer 1

illiopsoas is the major hip flexor, but rectus fermoris (a quad muscle) helps
sartorius does a combo of hip flexion, abduction and external rotation
pectineus does a combo of hip flexion, and adduction
tensor fasia latae does a combo of hip flexion and abduction

so 3 muscles (illiopsoas is a combo of 2 muscles) can do hip flexion
while 3 different muscles can do hip flexion with other movements

rectus fermoris also does knee extension, which is why you can't flex your hip as much when your knee is straight

Answer 2

The Psoas is the major hip flexor, but I think these others help with hip flexion Illiacis, Sartorious, Periformus

Answer 3

The vertical muscle band that allows you to raise your thigh at the hip is called a hip flexor.
