quadriceps :)
When a muscle pulls what happens?
you have then stretched your tendon / muscle beyond the normal range .
What are the injuries found in a muscle strain?
A strain is a torn or stretched muscle or tendon.
What insertion tendon of what group contains a patella?
The quadriceps muscle goes over the patella. The patella is encased in the quadriceps tendon. This tendon inserts on the tibia at the tibial tuberosity. Other muscles from the thigh have tendons which go underneath the patella.
Sesamoid bones are bones embedded within a tendon What if your largest sesamoid bone anchors the tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle What is it?
Patella
What is the muscle under your knee?
Vastus medialis (a tear-shaped muscle right above your knee)
What muscle tendons keep the patella in place?
The two tendons that are attached to the patella are: the quadriceps tendon, which attaches above, and the patellar tendon, which attaches on the bottom
What are two proprioceptors that tell how much and how fast a muscle is being stretched?
Golgi tendon Muscle spindles
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.
What the meaning of quadriceps?
The great extensor muscle of the knee, divided above into four parts which unite in a single tendon at the knee.
