"The Funny Bone".
The common name for rectus femoris is the quadriceps muscle. It is one of the four muscles in the quadriceps group located in the front of the thigh.
The common name of the femur is the thigh bone.

If your rectus femoris contracts, it would help to extend your knee and flex your hip joint. This muscle is involved in movements like walking, running, and jumping.
The quadriceps femoris muscle has four heads: rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and vastus intermedius.
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.
This muscle is also used to flex the thigh. The rectus femoris is the only muscle that can flex the hip. Injury to the rectus femoris muscle may result from overuse, as seen with kicking- or sprinting-related injuries. Inflammation of the muscle causes pain in the groin during physical exercises that use this muscle.
The rectus femoris muscle has a parallel fascicle arrangement, meaning its muscle fibers run parallel to the long axis of the muscle. This arrangement allows for strong contraction forces and efficient movement.
This is the scientific name. Rectus means to be upright, Femoris means pertaining to the femur.
the real name is rectus femoris, the vastus muscles are the ones laterally, medially and intermedius, there is no vastus femoris. the Quadriceps Femoris are: rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis and vastus intermedius.

The rectus femoris is found in the middle of the front of the thigh.
Yes the rectus femoris is anterior to the vastus intermedius, vastus intermedius is a deep muscle that we need to cut the rectus femoris in order to see it.
The name 'rectus' means straight while femoris refers to the thigh. So, it refers to the straight muscle of the thigh, which is a member of the quadriceps femoris.
The rectus femoris is one of the quadriceps muscles located on the anterior (front) surface of the thigh.
rectus femoris
the quadriceps which are composed of the rectus femoris vastus lateralis vastus medialis and vastus intermedius.
The rectus femoris becomes active in a leg extension because one of the actions of the rectus femoris is hip extension, as well as knee extension. The rectus femoris crosses both the hip and knee on the anterior side of the body. When the leg is extended it is one of the primary movers, whether it be straight leg extension, in which case it is the rectus femoris, illium and psoas muscles. In knee extension the rectus femoris works in conjunction with the other 3 quadriceps. However, in the case of a seated leg extension the rectus femois is less active, due to it already being shortened for the hip extension.
The rectus femoris is a muscle located in the thigh that is one of the four quadriceps muscles. Its main function is to extend the knee joint and help in flexing the hip joint. It also plays a role in stabilizing the knee and supporting movements like walking, running, and jumping.
