36
Q

37
Q

Functions to obviate wear and attrition on the quadriceps tendon as it passes across the trochlear groove and to increase the angle of pull of the quadriceps femoris, thereby magnifying its power.

Q

Patella attaches to the tibial tuberosity by a continuation of the quadriceps tendon called the?

A

patellar ligament

39
Q
