-origin: anterior & lateral surface femur
-insertion: patella & via patellar ligament to tibial tuberosity
-innervation: femoral n.
-action: extends knee
Quadriceps contusions occur after severe impact and can result in hypovolemic shock because...?
Thigh muscles have a very large muscle mass. Thus, one can end up with major blood loss when you have a crushing injury.

What two muscles does the obturator n. innervate?
1. Anterior division of adductor brevis m.
2. Posterior division of adductor magnus m.
What veins do NOT have the same names as the arteries?
Superficial veins
Name the veins with valves.
Venae comitantes
1. Great saphenous vein
2. small saphenous vein
What is the route of the spread of infection?

Patella
What bone increases the efficiency of the quadriceps m.?
Patella
What does the joint capsule do?
It covers joint except anteriorly which is covered by patellar ligament

The posterior aspect of the joint capsule is reinforced by ligaments and muscle tendons. Function = stability
