Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gluteus maximus muscle does not insert on the quadriceps tendon. It originates on the ilium, sacrum, and coccyx bones, and inserts on the femur. The other muscles listed (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, and vastus medialis) all insert on the quadriceps tendon, which is a tendon formed by the convergence of the four quadriceps muscles and attaches to the patella.
