Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomical location of the vastus intermedius muscle. It is one of the four quadriceps muscles located in the anterior compartment of the thigh.
Identify the position of the vastus intermedius muscle in relation to other muscles. It is situated deep to the rectus femoris muscle.
Recognize that the rectus femoris is the most superficial of the quadriceps muscles, covering the vastus intermedius.
Consider the anatomical arrangement of the quadriceps group: rectus femoris is superficial, vastus intermedius is deep, and vastus medialis and vastus lateralis are on the medial and lateral sides, respectively.
Conclude that the vastus intermedius is deep to the rectus femoris, as it lies beneath it in the quadriceps muscle group.
