Chlorite dismutase (Cld) catalyzes the reduction of the toxic compound ClO 2 â¾ to environmentally innocuous Clâ¾ while producing O 2. This detoxification reaction is an essential step in the dissimilatory perchlorate reductive pathway.
1 Support Us!  Rectus Femoris. The structure indicated is the rectus femoris of the quadriceps group of thigh muscles. The rectus femoris is one of the muscles that makes up the quadriceps femoris, and is contained in the anterior compartment of the thigh. The muscles of the anterior compartment are all innervated by the femoral nerve and serve generally to extend the leg at the knee joint.
One of your quadricep muscles, the rectus femoris, helps to flex your hip. Other hip flexors include the iliopsoas muscles in your upper thigh and lower back; the tensor fasciae latae on your outer hips; the adductor longus, adductor brevis and pectineus along your upper, inner thighs; and the sartorius.he four quadriceps muscles in the front of each thigh are primarily responsible for extending your knee. When your foot moves forward and your leg straightens during your sprinting stride, that's the quadriceps hard at work.
