Solution
Quadriceps:
The quadriceps femoris is one of our body's largest and most powerful muscles.
Each quad consists of four muscles at the front of our thigh.
These four muscles work together to make it easier for humans to stand, walk, run, and move about.
They also help to hold our kneecap in place.
The quadriceps femoris has four sub-components:
Vastus Lateralis
Vastus Intermedius
Vastus Medialis
Rectus Femoris
