practical quad muscles Flashcards
1
Q
quad muscles
A
vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, rectus femoris
2
Q
quad muscles commonalities
A
insertion= patella+tibial tuberosity
action = knee extension
insertion = femoral n.
3
Q
rectus femoris
A
o= anterior inferior iliac spin
i = patella + tibial tuberosity
a = knee extension
in= femoral n.
4
Q
vastus lateralis
A
o = greater trochanter
i = patella + tibial tuberosity
a = knee extension
in= femoral n
5
Q
vastus medialis
A
o= intertrochanteric line
i = patella + tibial tuberosity
a = knee extension
in= femoral n
