Rectus femoris
What quadriceps muscles are attached to?
Quadriceps muscles are attached to the tibia via patella. Patella is a sesamoid bone. On the other the three of the four muscles are attached to the femur bone. Rectus femoris is attached to the hip bone as well. So it can act on hip bone also. Other way round it can take support of hip bone to act on tibia. Other three muscles are specially designed to act on tibia bone only. They are originated from femur bone.
Which bone is the longest in the human skeleton Fibula Femur Tibia?
The femur.
What side of the body is the femur?

Is the knee cap deep to the femur?
The knee cap or (Patella) is distal and superficial to the femur. There are many tendons of muscles that originate on the femur that insert in the the patella, thus the patella and femur are closely related anatomically.

What bone is distal to the femur?
Yes, the patella is distal to the femur. This is because the patella is more distant than the femur to the attachment point to the trunk of the body. You can also say the femur is proximal to the patella.
Is the femur superior to the patella?
Nope. The patella is inferior to the metacarpals.
How many bones articulate with femur and patella?
The femur articulates with the patella, tibia, and OS coxae (hip bone). And the patella articulates with the femur only. So in all, not counting the femur and patella, two.
What part of the femur articulates with the pelvic bone?
One side of the pubis articulates interiorly with the other side of the pubis, joining at the pubic symphysis. Posteriorly it articulates with the sacrum, the Acetabulum proximally articulates with Femur bone. So therefore there are three articulation points for the pelvic girdle.
