Anatomy of Motion on Instagram: "While palpating the anteromedial compartment of the thigh, we can find six key muscles:  . Three of these belong to the quadriceps group: vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, and vastus medialis. The fourth quadriceps muscle, vastus intermedius, is inaccessible from the surface.  . Moving medially, we can find the long edge created by the sartorius muscle, which meets the gracilis in the lower part of the thigh.  . The V-shaped space between these two muscles houses the superficial part of the adductor longus, which is part of the larger adductor group. . #quadriceps #rectusfemoris #vastuslateralis #vastusmedialis #vastusintermedius #sartorius #gracilis #adductorlongus #anatomy #biomechanics #anatomyofmotion #muscles #thigh" Quadriceps Muscles Anatomy, Thigh Muscle Anatomy, Gracilis Muscle, Hip Muscles Anatomy, Adductor Longus, Vastus Medialis, Snapping Hip Syndrome, Sartorius Muscle, Rectus Femoris

Anatomy Assignment 3-rectus femoris muscle: Function: The primary function is knee extension. It also assists with hip flexion. The rectus femoris can perform these two functions simultaneously. Innervation: Femoral nerve (L2–L4). Thus the rectus femoris received its name because it runs straight down the thigh. It is a two way acting muscle as it crosses over the hip and knee joint; therefore, it functions to extend the knee and also assists iliopsoas in hip flexion. 4-quadriceps : Function Rectus Femoris, Femoral Nerve, Nerve, Macrame Plant Hanger, Plant Hanger, Acting
