**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagrams at the bottom of the text illustrate the anatomy of the thigh muscles:

1. **Left Diagram:**
- Displays the anatomical layout of the muscles on the posterior side of the leg, including the superficial positioning of the hamstrings and their associated structures.

2. **Right Diagram:**
- Focuses on the quadriceps femoris group on the anterior thigh. This includes the vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, and the rectus femoris muscles, indicating their positions and insertions around the patella and knee joint.

These diagrams serve as a visual aid to help understand the physical location and relational structure of the muscles responsible for leg movement.
