We're sorry, an error occurred. The quadriceps femoris is a group of muscles located in the front of the thigh. The Latin translation of quadriceps is four headed, as the group contains four separate muscles: the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and the rectus femoris. Each of the vastus muscles originates on the femur bone and attaches to the patella, or kneecap.
