Muscles of the Anterior Thigh
Very Very Very Round Ass Shits
Vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, rectus femoris, articularis genus, sartorius
Vastus Intermedius OIFIn
O: Proximal 2/3 of anterior and lateral surfaces of femoral shaft
I: Tibial tuberosity
F: Extension of knee
In: Femoral nerve
Vastus Lateralis OIFIn
O: Proximal portion of intertrochanteric line, anterior/inferior margin of greater trochanter, later side of gluteal tuberosity, laterally on linea aspera
I: Tibial tuberosity
F: Extension of knee
In: Femoral nerve
Vastus Medialis OIFIn
O: Distal edge of intertrochanteric line, pectineal line of femur, medial side of linea aspera, medial supracondylar line
I: Tibial tuberosity
F: Extension of knee
In: Femoral nerve
Rectus Femoris OIFIn
O: Anterior inferior spine of ilium, superior groove of acetabulum
I: Tibial tuberosity (with sesamoid bone - patella)
F: Flexion of hip, extension of knee
In: Femoral nerve
Articularis Genus OIFIn
O: Distal end of anterior femoral shaft
I: Proximal extension of joint capsule of knee
F: Pulls suprapatellar bursa of knee joint capsule proximally to move it away from the patella during extension of knee
In: Femoral nerve
Sartorius OIFIn
O: Anterior superior iliac spine
I: Surface of tibia medial to tibial tuberosity and below medial condyle
F: Flexion and lateral rotation of hip, flexion of knee
In: Femoral nerve
