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.
Positioned on the front or anterior of the thigh, the quadriceps consist of four muscles. These muscles are called the vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis, and the rectus femoris. Attached to the front portion of the tibia, most of the muscles of the quadriceps begin at the top portion of the femur.ositioned on the front or anterior of the thigh, the quadriceps consist of four muscles.
