The rectus femoris is one of the 4 muscles that make up the 'quadriceps' or 'quads' at the front of the thigh. The other three are the vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius and vastus medialis.
The hamstrings are located on the back of the thigh. They are composed of three muscles; semiteninosis, semimembranosis, and biceps femoris.
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.
There is no part of the body called the vastus femoris. The vasti muscles are a group of five muscles that are located on the anterior part of the femur. They function in the bending of the leg at the knee.
The term femoris refers to anything concerned with the thigh.
Biceps femoris performs knee flexion.
The primary antagonist to the rectus femoris is the biceps femoris, a muscle of the hamstring group. When the rectus femoris contracts to flex the hip and extend the knee, the biceps femoris acts to flex the knee and extend the hip, helping to create balanced movement.
