The antagonist of the vastus intermedius is the hamstring muscles, specifically the semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles. These muscles work to flex the knee joint, while the vastus intermedius works to extend the knee joint.
Flexes Leg at Knee 1.Sartorius 2.Gracilis 3.Long and Short head of the Biceps Femoris 4.Semitendinosus 5.Semimembranosus Extends Leg at Knee 1.Rectus Femoris 2.Vastus Lateralis 3.Vastus Medialis 4.Vastus Intermedius EXAMPLE: The Vastus Intermedius is an ANTAGONIST to the Sartorius because it preforms an opposite action.
All muscles that are agonists or synergists in knee extention, are antagonists in knee flexion.
Yes the rectus femoris is anterior to the vastus intermedius, vastus intermedius is a deep muscle that we need to cut the rectus femoris in order to see it.
Vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius,
the real name is rectus femoris, the vastus muscles are the ones laterally, medially and intermedius, there is no vastus femoris. the Quadriceps Femoris are: rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis and vastus intermedius.
i think it is the vastus lateralis but im not sure

Extension of the leg at the knee
The quadriceps femoris is the great extensor muscle of the knee joint. It has four components:rectus femoris (fusiform bipennate muscle)vastus lateralisvastus intermediusvastus medialis.The tendons of these four muscles unite to form the common tendon and it is inserted on the patella, also is inserted on the tibial tuberosity.
