Quadriceps muscle

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.
