Is quadriceps relax of paellar tendnon?

The quadriceps muscle and the patellar tendon are closely related but serve different functions. The quadriceps is a large muscle group at the front of the thigh responsible for extending the knee, while the patellar tendon connects the quadriceps to the tibia via the patella (kneecap). When the quadriceps contracts, it pulls on the patellar tendon, facilitating knee extension. In this context, "relax" may refer to the need for the quadriceps to relax for the knee to bend; however, they do not directly "relax" the patellar tendon itself.
