The patella is the round bone on the anterior of the knee. You can palpate the surface of the knee and you can gently shift the patella bone side to side. The insertion of the patella bone is quadricep ligament which attaches to the proximal end of the tibia. The origin of the patella is the quadricep tendon. The quadriceps consist of four muscles: rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis, and the vastus lateralis.

The insertion tendon of the group contains a large sesamoid bone?
The insertion tendon that contains a large sesamoid bone is the patella. Some people refer to the patella as the knee cap.
The insertion tendon of what muscle group contains the patella?
quadriceps :)
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.
What is a Sesamoid?
A bone formed in a tendon. Example are the patella and baculumA sesamoid bone is that bone which is embedded within a tendon. An example is the patella.
Name the insertion of the quadricep?
patella
What is the insertion point of the quadricep?
patella and medial surface of tibia
What two bones are involved in a patella tendon harvest for an ACL reconstruction?
tibia and patella
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 sesamoid bone forms in the quadriceps tendon?
Sesamoid bones are also found occasionally at the metacarpophalangeal joints of the middle and ring fingers, at the interphalangeal joint of the thumb and at the distal interphalangeal joint of the index finger. In the lower extremity the largest sesamoid bone of the joints is the patella, developed in the tendon of the Quadriceps femoris.
The patella is embedded in the tendon of which muscle?
quadriceps femoris
How does the patella move?
The patella serves to lengthen the extension moment at the knee by riding up the greater trochanter of the femur and lengthening the quadriceps tendon. It actually sits inside the tendon.
Is the patellar tendon above or below the patella?
it starts above and it connects onto the Tibial Tubercle which is right under the Patella.
