The "quadriceps" are made up of four muscles; Rectus Femoris, Vastus Medialis, Vastus Lateralis, and Vastus Intermedius. They all insert into the Tibial tuberosity (small bump on the upper tibia) but their origins differ. Rectus Femoris originates from the anterior inferior iliac spine (bump on the ilium). Vastus medialis, lateralis, and intermedius originate from the upper shaft of the femur.
