Which quadricep muscle has an additional action and what is it?

What is the function of the rectus femoris muscle?
Rectus Femoris is a quadricep muscle located in the anterior thigh, on top of the vastus intermedius (another quadricep). All of the quadriceps insert to the patella, and the tibial tuberosity via the patellar ligament. Together they are responsible for extension of the knee. Rectus Femoris is the only quadricep that also crosses the hip joint (acetabulofemoral joint) and attaches to the AIIS (anterior inferior iliac spine). Because of this, Rectus Femoris also assists in flexion of the hip.
What is the antagonist to the quadriceps muscle group?
The hamstring muscle group (biceps femoris, semitendonosis, semimembranosis) are the antagonists to the quadricep group.
What are the three synergistic muscles to the rectus femoris?
Three muscles that act synergistically with the rectus femoris are the vastus lateralis, the vastus intermedius, and the vastus medialis. Together the four muscles compose the quadricep muscles of the thigh.
One of the prime movers for flexion at the hips?
The prim mover for hip flexion is the Rectus femoris. This is a quadricep muscle that crosses the hip joint.
What is the significance of the names of the quadricep muscles?
In Latin quadriceps means four heads, and the quadriceps femoris muscle has four parts called heads.
What is the patella connected to?
It is connected to the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle.
