Yes, the hamstring muscles cross the hip joint. They originate from the ischial tuberosity of the pelvis and extend down to the knee joint, playing a crucial role in both hip extension and knee flexion. This dual functionality makes them important for various movements, such as running and jumping.

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.


Muscles that insert into the tibial tuberosity?

A very powerful muscle called as quadriceps femoris is attached to the tibial tuberosity. Vast-us medialis, vast-us intermedius and vast-us lateral-is come from femur bone. Whereas rectus femoris comes from hip bone.
