The Reflected Head of Rectus Femoris (Quadriceps): Learn Integral Anatomy with Gil Hedley

www.gilhedley.com
Usually we think that the origin of the rectus femoris (the superficial quadriceps muscle) is the anterior inferior iliac spine, but did you know that this muscle also has another reflected head? This secondary head connects into the labrum of your acetabulum ~ your hip socket!

In this video, Gil demonstrates on models both of these origins sites for the rectus femoris to better illuminate our understanding of integral anatomy and movement.

To learn more about the quadriceps, check out Course 8 of "Anatomy from A to Z: Anterior Leg," at www. gilhedley.com where Gil does a deep dive through cadaver dissection into the quadriceps.
