which of the following is the origin of the vastus medialis?
anterior inferior iliac spine
tibial tuberosity
shaft of femur
medial lip of linea aspera
clear my selection

Explanation:

The vastus medialis is a muscle in the quadriceps group. Its origin is the medial lip of the linea aspera. The anterior inferior iliac spine is the origin of the rectus femoris (another quadriceps muscle). The tibial tuberosity is the insertion site for the quadriceps tendon (not an origin). The shaft of the femur is too general - the specific origin for vastus medialis is the medial lip of the linea aspera.

Answer:

Medial lip of linea aspera
