Vastus intermedius muscle

Index Vastus intermedius muscle

The vastus intermedius (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. [1]

Femur

The femur (pl. femurs or femora) or thigh bone, is the most proximal (closest to the hip joint) bone of the leg in tetrapod vertebrates capable of walking or jumping, such as most land mammals, birds, many reptiles including lizards, and amphibians such as frogs.

Intertrochanteric line

The intertrochanteric line (or spiral line of the femurWhite (2005), p 256) is a line located on the anterior side of the proximal end of the femur.

Quadriceps femoris muscle

The quadriceps femoris (also called the quadriceps extensor, quadriceps or quads), is a large muscle group that includes the four prevailing muscles on the front of the thigh.

Quadriceps tendon

In human anatomy, the quadriceps 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 lateralis muscle

The vastus lateralis, also called the vastus externus is the largest and most powerful part of the quadriceps femoris, a muscle in the thigh.
