The vastus intermedius (/ ˈvæstəsˌɪntərˈmiːdiəs /) (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. Its fibers end in a superficial aponeurosis, which forms the deep part of the ...
The vastus muscles are three of the four muscles that make up the quadriceps femoris muscle of the thigh. The three muscles are the vastus intermedius, the vastus lateralis, and the vastus medialis located in the middle, on the outside, and inside of the thigh, respectively. The fourth muscle is the rectus femoris muscle a large fleshy muscle ...
Anatomical terms of muscle. [edit on Wikidata] The tensor vastus intermedius is a muscle in the anterior compartment of thigh. It lies between the vastus intermedius and the vastus lateralis. The term tensor vastus intermedius was given by Grob et al. in 2016, [1] although the structure had been reported previously. [2][3]
The vastus medialis muscle is on the medial side of the femur (i.e. on the inner part thigh). [1] The vastus intermedius muscle lies between vastus lateralis and vastus medialis on the front of the femur (i.e. on the top or front of the thigh), but deep to the rectus femoris muscle. Typically, it cannot be seen without dissection of the rectus ...
Flat, wispy and highly variable, [4] sometimes consisting of several separate muscular bundles, [5] this muscle is without a distinct investing fascia and ranges 1.5–3 cm in width. [4] It is usually distinct from the vastus intermedius, but occasionally blended with it. [5] [needs update]
It is the site of attachments of muscles and the intermuscular septum. Its margins diverge above and below. The linea aspera is a prominent longitudinal ridge or crest, on the middle third of the bone, presenting a medial and a lateral lip, and a narrow rough, intermediate line. It is an important insertion point for the adductors and the ...
45163. Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] The anterior compartment of the leg is a fascial compartment of the lower leg. It contains muscles that produce dorsiflexion and participate in inversion and eversion of the foot, as well as vascular and nervous elements, including the anterior tibial artery and veins and the deep fibular nerve.
The femoral nerve is the major nerve supplying the anterior compartment of the thigh. It is the largest branch of the lumbar plexus, and arises from the dorsal divisions of the ventral rami of the second, third, and fourth lumbar nerves (L2, L3, and L4). [1][2] The nerve enters Scarpa's triangle by passing beneath the inguinal ligament, just ...
