What is the patella connected to?
It is connected to the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle.
What is the antagonist muscle in the flexion of the knee?

What is a quadricep?

How does the stretch reflex cause the quadriceps femoris muscle group to contract?
Tapping on the patellar tendon stretches receptors called the muscle spindles in the quadriceps muscle group of the anterior thigh. This stimulus evokes a rapid motor reflex to contract the quadriceps and shorten the muscles. This process is called the patellar reflex.
