“…A significant increase in morphological variability has been observed in recent years that often requires a reconsideration of the dominant anatomical nomenclature. Morphological variations apply to both veins (Tubbs et al, 2007) and arteries (Olewnik, Łabętowicz, et al, 2019), nerves (Macchi et al, 2018; Olewnik, Karauda, et al, 2020) and muscles (Olewnik, Kurtys, et al, 2020), and tendons (Olewnik, 2019a, 2019b; Olewnik, Gonera, Podgórski, et al, 2019) and ligaments (Olewnik, Gonera, Kurtys, et al, 2018, 2019; Olewnik, Wysiadecki, Podgórski, Polguj, & Topol, 2018), and these variations are observed in both fetuses and adults. The same applies to the quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle, described typically as the quadriceps muscle, which consists of four muscles: the rectus femoris (RF); vastus medialis (VM); vastus lateralis (VL), and vastus intermediate (VI).…”
