Thigh . It is the great extensor muscle of the leg, forming a large fleshy mass which covers the front and sides of the
Femur .
It is subdivided into separate portions, which have received distinctive names.
- One occupying the middle of the thigh, and connected above with the Ilium , is called from its straight course the Rectus Femoris .
