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.
Anatomy and supply. The quadriceps femoris muscle is a four-headed muscle of the thigh which almost completely covers the femur femoral nerve (L2-4). In detail the quadriceps consists of: 1  Rectus femoris muscle: has two origins at the anterior inferior iliac spine of the pelvis and the upper margin of the acetabulum. 2  Distally its fibers end in the common insertion tendon (quadriceps tendon).
