What else can I help you with?
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 muscle is also known as quadriceps?
A four head muscle in the leg/articulates with femoris bone Quadriceps femoris
What are patellas?
The patellar tendon connects the quadriceps to the tibia bone.
What is the Medical term meaning thigh?
Actually it depend to where you are referring to. The medsical term for the thigh bone is femur, the muscles are ventrogluteal, quadriceps, and vastus lateralis.femurfemur
What insertion tendon of what group contains a large sesamoid bone the patella?
The quadriceps group contains the patella, a large sesamoid bone, within its insertion tendon. The patella enhances the mechanical advantage of the quadriceps muscles by increasing the angle of pull and providing protection to the knee joint during movements.
What is the common name for rectus femoris?
"Funny bone". (If you bump the tip of it accidentally, you'll know where that name came from.) "The Funny Bone".
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.
What quadriceps muscles are attached to?
Quadriceps muscles are attached to the tibia via patella. Patella is a sesamoid bone. On the other the three of the four muscles are attached to the femur bone. Rectus femoris is attached to the hip bone as well. So it can act on hip bone also. Other way round it can take support of hip bone to act on tibia. Other three muscles are specially designed to act on tibia bone only. They are originated from femur bone.
What kind of bone is the patella?
The patella, also known as the kneecap, is a sesamoid bone. Sesamoid bones are bones that are embedded within tendons and provide protection and mechanical advantage to that tendon. The patella is located within the quadriceps tendon and acts as a fulcrum to increase the leverage of the quadriceps muscles during knee extension.
What is the bone underneath the forearm?
radius and ulna
Bone located within the quadriceps tendon?
Myositis ossifcans - Very rare or more commonly, the patella (kneecap)
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
