Depending on a patient's level of health, monocytes make up between one and three percent of the total white blood cells in the body.
1 Ligamentum Patellae: It is attached above to the lower border of patella and below to the tuberosity of tibia. 2  In fact, this ligament is a continuation of the common tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle containing the patella as a sesamoid bone.

Physiology. The patellar ligament plays an important role in the function of the knee joint and the lower limb as a whole. Contraction of the quadriceps femoris muscle group pulls the patella proximally toward the thigh through the quadriceps tendon.t crosses the knee anterior to the joint capsule to insert to the tibial tuberosity of the tibia. The tendons of the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis muscles run parallel to the patellar ligament to connect these muscles to the tibia.
