Yes it in not a muscle of the medial forelimb of the fetal pig

Explanation:

Rectus femoris is not the part of forelimb of the fetal pig.

However, rectus femoris in fetal pig originates from the hip and that to through the ilium and extends towards the knee and insert into its tendon. These are responsible for flexing the hip and extension of lower knee and legs. This muscle is a part of muscles of thigh and lies at its top. In quadriceps these muscles are the most anterior muscles.

Answer: Rectus femoris is not a muscle of medial forelimb of the fetal pig.

Explanation:

Pigs are mammals like humans. Pigs have similar structures with humans but there are slight differences in these structures because pigs are quipedal and humans are bipedal.

Rectus femoris is not found in the medial forelimb of fetal pigs instead it is found in the medial hindlimbs of fetal pigs and is one of the quadriceps muscles. It starts from the hip through the ilium and extend to the knee. Rectus femoris function in knee extension, its extend the lower leg and it flexes the hip.
