The vastus medialis and vastus intermedius appear to be inseparably united, but when the rectus femoris has been reflected during dissection a narrow interval will be observed extending upward from the medial border of the patella between the two muscles, and the separation may be continued as far as the lower part of the intertrochanteric line ...
The vastus lateralis is the largest and most powerful of the three vasti muscles. It arises from the several areas of the femur, including the upper part of the intertrochanteric line; the lower, anterior borders of the greater trochanter, to the outer border of the gluteal tuberosity, and the upper half of the outer border of the linea aspera.
The vastus medialis muscle is on the medial side of the femur (i.e. on the inner part thigh). [1] The vastus intermedius muscle lies between vastus lateralis and vastus medialis on the front of the femur (i.e. on the top or front of the thigh), but deep to the rectus femoris muscle. Typically, it cannot be seen without dissection of the rectus ...
The anterior compartment is one of the fascial compartments of the thigh that contains groups of muscles together with their nerves and blood supply. The anterior compartment contains the sartorius muscle (the longest muscle in the body) and the quadriceps femoris group, which consists of the rectus femoris muscle and the three vasti muscles – the vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, and ...
It arises from the anterior surface of the lower part of the body of the femur, [2] deep to the vastus intermedius, [3] close to the knee and from the deep fibers of the vastus intermedius. [2] Its insertion is on the synovial membrane of the knee-joint. [2]
The tensor vastus intermedius is a muscle in the anterior compartment of thigh. It lies between the vastus intermedius and the vastus lateralis. The term tensor vastus intermedius was given by Grob et al. in 2016, [1] although the structure had been reported previously. [2] [3]
Posterior division supplies the rectus femoris muscle, the three vastus muscles – (vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and vastus intermedius), and the articularis genus muscle. The articularis genus is supplied by a branch of the nerve to vastus intermedius.
Insertion: Anteromedial surface of the proximal tibia in the pes anserinus: Artery: Femoral artery: Nerve: Femoral nerve (sometimes from the intermediate cutaneous nerve of thigh) Actions: Flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation of the hip, flexion of the knee [1] Identifiers; Latin: musculus sartorius: TA98: A04.7.02.015: TA2: 2610: FMA ...
