Question

15 multiple answer 3 points which of the following are the origins of the vastus lateralis? tibial tuberosity gluteal tuberosity shaft of femur lateral lip of linea aspera anterior inferior iliac spine greater trochanter

Explanation:

The vastus lateralis is a muscle in the quadriceps group. Its origins include the gluteal tuberosity (part of the attachment from the gluteus maximus tendon), the shaft of the femur (proximal part), the lateral lip of the linea aspera (a ridge on the femur), and the greater trochanter (upper part of the femur). The tibial tuberosity is an insertion point (where the muscle attaches to the tibia after crossing the knee joint). The anterior inferior iliac spine is the origin of the rectus femoris (another quadriceps muscle), not the vastus lateralis.

Answer:

B. Gluteal tuberosity, C. Shaft of femur, D. Lateral lip of linea aspera, F. Greater trochanter
