6. Vastus Lateralis Muscle
1 is attached, in part, to the intertrochanteric line of the femur
2 overlaps vastus intermedius
3 is overlapped by rectus femoris

Question 3 - Anterior Thigh
The vastus lateralis is part of quadriceps femoris, and is innervated by the
femoral nerve, not the sciatic nerve.
It is vastus medialis, not vastus lateralis, that forms the lateral boundary of
the adductor canal.

Question 4 - Anterior Thigh
This is rectus femoris which arises by two heads;
Straight head: from the anterior inferior iliac spine
Reflected head: from a narrow strip of
ilium just above acetabulum

10. Concerning Sartorius Muscle
1 It is a flexor of the hip joint
2 Its medial border forms the lateral boundary of the femoral triangle
3 It is crossed on its deep aspect by the lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh
4 It arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine
5 It is innervated by the femoral nerve

2 Its medial border forms the lateral boundary of the femoral triangle T
3 It is crossed on its deep aspect by the lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh F
4 It arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine F
5 It is innervated by the femoral nerve T
Question 5 - Anterior Thigh
The lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh, also known as the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve,
crosses superficial to Sartorius.
Sartorius arises from the anterior superior iliac spine

12. Concerning Vastus Intermedius
1 It is supplied in part by the obturator nerve
2 It is a hamstring muscle
3 It is supplied by the femoral nerve
4 It arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine

3 It is supplied by the femoral nerve T
4 It arises from the anterior inferior iliac spine F
5 It extends the knee T
Question 6 - Anterior Thigh
Vastus Intermedius is a Quadriceps muscle that arises from the anterior
and lateral aspects of the femoral shaft.
The straight head of the rectus femoris arises from the anterior inferior iliac
spine.
It is supplied entirely by the femoral nerve.

14. The Vastus Lateralis arises from the
1 Intertrochanteric crest
2 Lesser trochanter
3 Intertrochanteric line
4 Lateral supracondylar ridge
5 Greater trochanter

2 Lesser trochanter F
3 Intertrochanteric line T
4 Lateral supracondylar ridge T
5 Greater trochanter T
Question 7 - Anterior Thigh
Vastus lateralis arises from the femur as follows;
-superior half of intertrochanteric line
-anterior and inferior borders of greater trochanter
-lateral lip of linea aspera
-lateral supracondylar ridge

16. The muscle in the diagram
1 Is part of the quadriceps mechanism
2 Flexes the knee
3 Is supplied by the femoral nerve
4 Arises from lateral lip of the linea aspera
5 Adducts the thigh
Question 8 - Anterior Thigh

17. The muscle in the diagram
1 Is part of the quadriceps mechanism T
2 Flexes the knee F
3 Is supplied by the femoral nerve T
4 Arises from lateral lip of the linea aspera F
5 Adducts the thigh F
Question 8 - Anterior Thigh
This is vastus medialis, part of the quadriceps mechanism.
It arises from the femur as follows;
-inferior half of intertrochanteric line
-spiral line
-medial lip of linea aspera

2 femur F
3 fibula F
4 tibia T
5 ischium F
Question 9 - Anterior Thigh
Sartorius originates from the anterior superior iliac spine of the ilium of the hip
bone and inserts onto the superior aspect of medial surface of tibial shaft

20. A cross-sectional CT scan of the thigh halfway between the
hip and knee joints will show:
1 the psoas major tendon postero-medial to the femur
2 the sartorius muscle on the medial aspect of the thigh
3 the lateral head of gastrocnemius
4 the adductor hiatus
5 the vastus lateralis muscle arising from the posterior aspect of
the femoral shaft
