The quadriceps femoris group is a group of four muscles located in the anterior compartment of the thigh. These muscles are responsible for extending the leg at the knee joint. The four muscles that make up the quadriceps femoris group are the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and vastus lateralis.

The vastus lateralis is the largest of the four muscles and is located on the lateral side of the thigh. It originates from the greater trochanter of the femur, the lateral lip of the linea aspera, and the lateral intermuscular septum. It inserts into the patella and the tibial tuberosity via the patellar tendon. The vastus lateralis is responsible for extending the leg at the knee joint and is also involved in stabilizing the patella.

The xiphoid process is a small, cartilaginous extension located at the inferior end of the sternum (breastbone), which serves as an atachment site for certain abdominal muscles. The hyoid bone is a U- shaped bone located in the neck, not on the sternum. The ossa coxae are also known as the hip bones, which are in the pelvic region, not on the sternum. Sesamoid bones are small, rounded bones that are embedded within tendons and can be found in various locations throughout the body, but not necessarily on the sternum.
