Rectus femoris: thigh muscle in 3D

The rectus femoris is one of the four parts of the quadriceps. This image shows its path along the front of the thigh, from the pelvis toward the knee. Colored areas on the bone indicate attachments without covering the muscle.

In Corpus3D you can isolate the muscle, explore its relationship to the hip and knee, and look up its function and innervation.
