The vastus intermedius (/ ˈ v æ s t ə s ˌ ɪ n t ər ˈ m iː d i ə s /) (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.
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 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 ...
The tensor vastus intermedius muscle originates from the proximal part of femur specifically from the anterior part of the greater trochanter. [1] The muscle lies anterior to the vastus intermedius but deep to the rectus femoris. The tendinous part of the muscle is closely related to, and sometimes fuses with, the aponeurosis of the vastus ...
Green is the medial compartment (gracilis and adductor magnus), blue is the posterior (semimembrosus to biceps c. brevis) and red is the anterior (vastus lateralis to sartorius). The fascial compartments of thigh are the three fascial compartments that divide and contain the thigh muscles .
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.
