Musculus quadriceps femoris

The quadriceps is the group of four muscles in the anterior compartment of the thigh that connect to the patella via the quadriceps tendon. The muscles are located:

• superficial: rectus femoris
• medial: vastus medialis
• lateral: vastus lateralis
• deep: vastus intermedius

All four muscles are innervated by the femoral nerve.
