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.
The insertion point of the quadriceps is the patella, through the patellar tendon, which then attaches to the tibia bone below the knee joint.
Quadricepts
The body part that starts with the letter Q is the quadriceps, which is a group of muscles located in the front of the thigh.
The antagonist muscle in the flexion of the knee is the quadriceps muscle group. When the knee is being flexed, the quadriceps relax to allow the hamstrings to contract and bring about the flexion movement.
These muscles all have a ligament of insertion which is called the patellar ligament. This ligament inserts to the tibial tuberosity.
These muscles all have a ligament of insertion which is called the patellar ligament. This ligament inserts to the tibial tuberosity.
There are 4 groups in the quadriceps femoris muscle.

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 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.
Groups of muscles are defined by their location on the body and the function that they perform e.g. the quadriceps are grouped due to the their location on the femur and they are all responsible for the extension of the knee joint.
The insertion point of the quadriceps is the patella, through the patellar tendon, which then attaches to the tibia bone below the knee joint.
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.
Hamstrings, Quadriceps, and Calfs
Most of the muscles (or mucle groups) that you know are voluntary or skeletal muscles. Biceps, triceps, quadriceps, abdominals, pectoralis, latissimus dorsi, sartorius, etc. are all skeletal muscles, or muscle groups.
