Vasty
Definition:
(a.) Vast; immense.
Example Sentences:
(1) Recordings were also made during stimulation of nerves to the gracilis muscle and to the vasti muscle group.
(2) Four children investigated for neuromuscular disorder by routine ultrasound imaging showed selective involvement within the quadriceps femoris muscle, with involvement of the vasti and sparing of the rectus femoris.
(3) The integrated electromyographic signals associated with the peak torque for all of the vastus muscles, along with the vastus medialis obliquus:vastus lateralis and vastus medialis longus:vastus lateralis activity ratios showed no significant differences between groups nor between the three angles, suggesting that all vasti measured were consistently active throughout the studied range of motion.
(4) The limited monosynaptic input produced by stimulation of the nerves to the gracilis and vasti muscles showed that their Ia axons do not distinguish between the two semimembranosus cell groups.
(5) Vasti motoneurons were excited, and PB-ST motoneurons were inhibited by knee extensions when the posterior articular nerve (PAN) was intact; these effects were lost or substantially reduced when the PAN was cut.

(7) In that position the vasti muscles together with the semimembranosus formed a force couple for stabilizing the knee joint.
(8) The results of this study indicate that although with increases of speed and upward tilt the absolute values of integrated EMG increased more for the calf than for the vastus muscles, the relative increases of EMG were consistently greater for the vasti, which reached their peak intensity of activity at moments during the walking stride, when their knee extending action stretched the gastrocnemius heads across the back of the knee joint, and thereby assisted the calf muscles lift the heel, and plantar flex the ankle joint--the most essential actions for producing the push-off and thrust in the normal walking stride.
(9) His SF has been called "space opera", and its grand reach across the vasty deep is one reason.
