QuestionChoice
The labelled muscle is the vastus lateralis, the most lateral of the four quadriceps muscles. It originates from the greater trochanter and lateral lip of the linea aspera of the femur, extending down the thigh to insert at the quadriceps tendon, which continues to the patella and then to the tibial tuberosity via the patellar ligament. As part of the quadriceps group, the vastus lateralis plays a crucial role in knee extension, providing strength and stability to the knee joint, especially during activities like walking, running, and squatting.
