describe the quadriceps femoris
|
it consists of four distinct parts which are usually describes as four muscles
All parts of it are supplied by the femoral nerve L2-L4 It is composed of the rectus femoris and three vasti muscles It can be tested by asking the person to extend his/her knee against resistance |
