It is not possible clearly to separate the quadriceps femoris into four heads. The vastus lateralis is so much larger than the vastus medialis as to indicate that the vastus intermedius is incorporated with the former. The rectus femoris has only one tendon of origin. There is a bursa under the iimscle at the distal third of the femur. The single patellar ligament acts as the tendon of insertion of the quadriceps
