The quadriceps are a group of muscles on the front of your thighs., There are four distinct muscles that make up the quadriceps muscles.These muscles are called the vastus intermedius, the vastus medialis, the vastus lateralis, and the rectus femoris. The quadriceps are also known simply as the quads.
The group inserts on the tibial tuberosity (a knot below the patella).Since the quadriceps extend over the kneecap (patella), they also help to keep your kneecap in its proper position in a groove in the end of your thigh bone.

What is the depression on the ulna into which the humerus inserts?
olecranon fossa
What enzyme inserts viral DNA into the host's chromosomal DNA?

What muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts on the proximal anterior humerus?
The subscapularis muscle originates on the anterior surface of the scapula and inserts on the proximal anterior humerus. Its function is to rotate the head of the humerus medially.
What is the origin and insertion of the gluteus maximus?
Origin: the gluteus maximus originates from the posterior inferior surface of the sacrum and coccyx, and the posterior medial surface of the ilium.Insertion: the gluteus maximus inserts into the gluteal tuberosity on the posterior aspect of the femur, and the anterior aspect of the lateral tibial condyle.
What bone is the semimembranosus connected to?
The semimebranosus is part of the hamstring group and originates at the ischial tuberosity and inserts into the proximal tibia.
Where does the piriformis muscle originate an insert?
The piriformis originates at the anterior sacrum and inserts at the greater trochanter of the femur.
What muscle originates from the anterior inferior iliac spine of the hip and inserts onto the proximal end of the tibia?
rectus femoris
What muscle originates on the distal anterior humerus and inserts onto the coronoid process of the ulna to cause arm reflexion?
The brachialis muscle originates on the distal anterior humerus and insert at the coronoid process. The function of the brachialis is flexion at the elbow.
Where is the insertion of the gluteus maximus?
It inserts at the gluteal tuberosity.
What muscle inserts into the patella and the tibial tuberous?
none do directly, but the quadriceps (rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius) do via the patella and patella tendon. anterior tibialis ORIGINATES partly from near the tibial tuberosity hope this helps
The biceps brachii is insert on a radius. true or false?
"yes". The Biceps Brachii inserts on the radial tuberosity.
Insertion site for the biceps brachii?
It inserts, by means of a tendon, into radial tuberosity on the radius. And then by an aponeurosis, bicipital aponeurosis, which ‎‏fuses‏ ‏with the adjoining deep fascia.
Where is the insertion of sdemimembranosus muscle?
The semimembranous muscle inserts on the medial condyle and nearby margin of the tibia and its origin is the ischial tuberosity.
Is it normal to have muscles on your shins?
In human anatomy, the tibialis anterior is a muscle that originates in the upper two-thirds of the lateral surface of the tibia and inserts into the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal bones of the foot. Its acts to dorsiflex and invert the foot.
