Abstract:
In 138 human fetuses (70 males and 68 females) aging 9 to 36 weeks variations were recorded in the shape of individual heads of quadriceps femoris muscle. The typical traits of morphology of the vastus lateralis and the vastus medialis included additional fleshy lamellae and associations with the neighbouring muscles.
