The quadriceps femoris is the great extensor muscle of the knee joint. It has four components:
- rectus femoris (fusiform bipennate muscle)
- vastus lateralis
- vastus intermedius
- vastus 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.
