The vastus medialis obliquus (VMO), a teardroplike muscle on the inside of your thigh, works together with the flashier VL (vastus lateralis muscle) on the outside to hold the patella in place as the joint bends, so I take advantage of the thigh adduction and abduction machines, and my physical therapist showed me how to set the hip machine for a slow, careful quad workout. ❋ Unknown (2007)
And a block away there is a girl in the second row with a very charming twist of the vastus medialis. ❋ Unknown (1919)
The posterior medial malleolar artery (a. malleolaris posterior medialis; internal malleolar artery) is a small branch which winds around the tibial malleolus and ends in the medial malleolar net-work. ❋ Unknown (1918)
It is oftenest found about the tendon of the Adductor longus and Vastus medialis in horsemen, or in the Pectoralis major and Deltoideus of soldiers. ❋ Unknown (1918)
Another, derived from the nerve to the Vastus medialis, can usually be traced downward on the surface of this muscle to near the joint; it then penetrates the muscular fibers, and accompanies the articular branch of the highest genicular artery, pierces the medial side of the articular capsule, and supplies the synovial membrane. ❋ Unknown (1918)
Laterally, the origin of the Vastus medialis intervenes between it and the femur. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The medial surface (facies medialis; internal surface) is broad and concave above, narrow and convex below. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The medial plantar artery (a. plantaris medialis; internal plantar artery) (Figs. 554 and 555), much smaller than the lateral, passes forward along the medial side of the foot. ❋ Unknown (1918)
On either side of the patella, the synovial membrane extends beneath the aponeuroses of the Vasti, and more especially beneath that of the Vastus medialis. ❋ Unknown (1918)
It is bounded, in front and laterally, by the Vastus medialis; behind by the Adductores longus and magnus; and is covered in by a strong aponeurosis which extends from the Vastus medialis, across the femoral vessels to the Adductores longus and magnus; lying on the aponeurosis is the Sartorius muscle. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The canal contains the femoral artery and vein, the saphenous nerve, and the nerve to the Vastus medialis. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The branch to the Vastus medialis descends lateral to the femoral vessels in company with the saphenous nerve. ❋ Unknown (1918)
It divides into two branches, one of which supplies the Vastus medialis, anastomosing with the highest genicular and medial inferior genicular arteries; the other ramifies close to the surface of the femur, supplying it and the knee-joint, and anastomosing with the lateral superior genicular artery. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The musculo-articular branch descends in the substance of the Vastus medialis, and in front of the tendon of the Adductor magnus, to the medial side of the knee, where it anastomoses with the medial superior genicular artery and anterior recurrent tibial artery. ❋ Unknown (1918)
Figure showing the mode of innervation of the Recti medialis and lateralis of the eye (after Duval and Laborde). ❋ Unknown (1918)
Muscular branches (rami musculares) are supplied by the femoral artery to the Sartorius, Vastus medialis, and Adductores. ❋ Unknown (1918)
Behind the artery are the Adductores longus and magnus; in front and lateral to it is the Vastus medialis. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The inferior, more constantly present, passes forward between the optic nerve and Rectus inferior, and is distributed to the Recti lateralis, medialis, and inferior, and the Obliquus inferior. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The medial meniscus (meniscus medialis; internal semilunar fibrocartilage) is nearly semicircular in form, a little elongated from before backward, and broader behind than in front; its anterior end, thin and pointed, is attached to the anterior intercondyloid fossa of the tibia, in front of the anterior cruciate ligament; its posterior end is fixed to the posterior intercondyloid fossa of the tibia, between the attachments of the lateral meniscus and the posterior cruciate ligament. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The Medial Femoral Circumflex Artery (a. circumflexa femoris medialis; internal circumflex artery) arises from the medial and posterior aspect of the profunda, and winds around the medial side of the femur, passing first between the Pectineus and Psoas major, and then between the Obturator externus and the Adductor brevis. ❋ Unknown (1918)
