Vastus medialis The vastus medialis is one of five muscles in the anterior compartment of the thigh. It is involved in knee extension, along with the other muscles which make up the quadriceps muscle.

- : the division of the quadriceps muscle that covers the outer anterior aspect of the femur, arises chiefly from the femur, and inserts into the outer border of the patella by a flat tendon which blends with that of the other divisions of the muscle and sends an expansion to the capsule of the knee—called also vastus externus.

Muscles of the Lower Limb The popliteus muscle at the back of the leg unlocks the knee by rotating the femur on the tibia, allowing flexion of the joint. The quadriceps femoris muscle group (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medius, and vastus intermedius) crosses the knee via the patella and acts to extend the leg.

Muscles in the Anterior Compartment of the Thigh Collectively, the vastus muscles extend at the knee joint, and are innervated by the femoral nerve. Rectus Femoris. 1  Attachments: Originates from the ilium, just superior to the acetabulum. 2  It runs straight down the leg (the latin for straight is rectus), and attaches to the patella by the quadriceps femoris tendon.

How does the action of the rectus femoris differ from this of the other quadriceps muscle? The rectus femoris differs from the other quadriceps muscle in that it crosses both the hip and the knee joints. Thus, it causes both flexion of the hip and extension of the knee.

- The sartorius muscle assists in flexing, weak abduction and lateral rotation of hip, and flexion of knee. Looking at the bottom of one's foot, as if checking to see if one had stepped in gum, demonstrates all four actions of sartorius.

Vastus medialis Vastus medialis. The vastus medialis muscle is a part of the quadriceps muscle group, located on the front of the thigh. It is the most medial, or inner, of the quadriceps muscles. It extends the entire length of the thigh. The portion of the muscle that is just above the knee is sometimes referred to as the vastus medialis obliquus, or VMO. This muscle is used to extend the leg at the knee and to stabilize the patella, which is also known as the kneecap.

Quadriceps Femoris Muscle Furthermore the rectus femoris muscle forces a flexion of the hip joint. To a small extent the vastus medialis muscle is involved in the inward rotation and the vastus lateralis muscle in the outward rotation of the knee joint.

- Situps engage your obliques, which are superficial, lateral abdominal muscle layers. Your external obliques are on top of your rectus abdominis and have fibers pointing down and toward the center line of your body.

Vastus intermedius muscle Anatomical terms of muscle. The vastus intermedius (/ˈvæstəs ˌɪntərˈmiːdi.əs/) (Cruraeus) arises from the front and lateral surfaces of the body of the femur in its upper two-thirds, sitting under the rectus femoris muscle and from the lower part of the lateral intermuscular septum.

Quadriceps tendon In human anatomy, the quadriceps tendon, also known as the patellar tendon, allows the quadriceps femoris muscles (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius) to converge on the superior aspects of the patella on the anterior of the thigh, which continues as the patellar ligament.n human anatomy, the quadriceps tendon, also known as the patellar tendon, allows the quadriceps femoris muscles (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius) to converge on the superior aspects of the patella on the anterior of the thigh, which continues as the patellar ligament.

Vastus medialis 1 It is the most medial of the vastus group of muscles, the others being vastus intermedius and vastus lateralis. 2  The vastus medialis arises medially along the entire length of the femur, and attaches with the other muscles of the quadriceps in the quadriceps tendon. The obliquus genus muscle is the most distal segment of the vastus medialis muscle. 2  Its specific training plays an important role in maintaining patella position and limiting injuries to the knee. 3  With no clear delineation, it is simply the most distal fibers of the vastus medialis.
