Definition
female
Term
what is the origin of the plantaris?
Definition
lateral condyle of the femur
Term
what is the insertion of the soleus?
Definition
calcaneus via the calcaneal tendon

fibula
Term
which movements would you use to differentiate between the biceps femoris and the vastus lateralis?
Definition
biceps femoris flexes the knee and extends the hip
vastus lateralis extens the knee and flexes the hip
