31
Q

What are the four muscles that make up the quadriceps?

and identify them

A
  • rectus femoris = big middle one
  • vastus medialis = medial one
  • vastus intermedialis = under rectus femoris
  • vastus lateralis = lateral one
32
Q

What tendon covers the knee and what is it called between the patella and tibia?

A

Quadricep tendon covers the knee and attaches to the tibial tuberosity on the tibia, between the patella and tibial tuberosity it is called the patellar tendon

33
Q

Where does the rectus femoris originate?

A

anterior inferior iliac spine

34
Q

Where does the rectus femoris insert?

A

combines with the other three quadriceps to form the quadriceps femoris tendon that passes over the patella then attaches to the tibial tuberosity

part of tendon from patella to tibial tuberosity = patellar tendon

35
Q

Functions of the rectus femoris?

2, where they act

A
  • flexion at hip joint
  • extension at knee joint
36
Q

What nerve innervates the rectus femoris?
