| The rectus femoris runs straight down the front of your thigh and, ideally, should protrude farther than any of your other quad muscles. |
| The exceptions are the superior oblique, which is enervated by the trochlear nerve, and the lateral rectus, which is enervated by the abducens. |
| The spine is stable and still, with the rectus abdominis, obliques and erector spinae muscle isometrically contracting. |
| Geoff hooked a needle through the rectus, the gossamer-thin muscle that controls eye movement, then immobilized it with a suture. |
| Spasm of the upper part of the rectus abdominis muscle may simulate a tumor in the epigastric region. |
| The rectus abdominis runs from the top of the pubic bone to the sternum and lower three ribs. |
