tibia and patella
quadriceps femoris
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.
it starts above and it connects onto the Tibial Tubercle which is right under the Patella.
FALSE
In the knee, the patella is found within the quadriceps tendon. This is the largest sesamoid bone in the human body.
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.
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.
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
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.

In order to provoke the patellar reflex one must strike the patellar tendon with a tendon hammer (and only a tendon hammer, striking with an ordinary hammer is ill-advised). In other words, strike the region immediately below the patella.
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.
The insertion tendon that contains a large sesamoid bone is the patella. Some people refer to the patella as the knee cap.
