The vastus lateralis is part of the quadriceps femoris muscle group, which is a large thigh muscle. The quadriceps is the main muscle of the anterior compartment of the thigh that allows you to stand, walk, climb, jump, run and squat. Making you an athlete is no easy feat, so the quadriceps is one of the largest muscles of your entire body.
In order for the vastus lateralis to perform its functions, it needs a nerve supply. This is provided by the femoral nerve. This nerve forms part of the lumbar plexus and arises from the second, third and fourth lumbar segments (L2-L4).
The vastus lateralis is the largest and most powerful muscle of the quadriceps femoris group, so take extra good care of it. Similar to any muscle in your body, the vastus lateralis has origin and insertion points from which it pulls in order to create movements.
In the full version of this tutorial, we will cover the following points related to the vastus lateralis muscle:
- location;
- origins, insertions and innervation of the vastus lateralis;
- functions of the vastus lateralis;
All shown using a 3D model.

How does the fucntion of thr vastus lateralis differ from the function of the vastus medialis ?
Amazing video, keep it up
Thank you so much for these videos

Great vid
Wow.
I really do appreciate the video and information.
Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice work! Does the vastus lateralis also perform hip flexion?
No - it doesn't cross the hip joint. Origin is the greater troch and other landmarks on the femur.
VERY NICE VIDEO
It's not "knee extension." It's "leg extension." The joint does not extend.
There is knee extension….and hip extension. They are two different things!! Knee extension is perfectly explained in the video at the end.
So this muscle made Usain Bolt the fastest man in the world.
