Quadriceps muscles are the largest muscles in our body.
We tend to use our thigh muscles for everything- walking, jogging, running, etc. However, somehow, we don’t even know the name of the muscles that we use every single day.


These quadriceps femoris muscles are the largest, strongest and fleshiest muscles in our body. They are found in the front and sides of the femur. They constitute vastus medialis, vastus lateralis , vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris..

Very little attention has been given to these quadriceps muscles in proportion to their wide variety of work. We will be learning about the structure of quadriceps muscles..


The quadriceps muscles consist of the following four muscles. These muscles help a person to perform daily tasks, which are taken for granted by humans, like sitting, standing, running, jogging, cycling etc.
They also help in flexing and extending the lower leg from the knee.
The rectus femoris muscle helps in flexing the hip as it is attached to the ilium.
The vastus medialis stabilises the kneecap.
