Patella twitch, artwork C016 / 6816
Patella twitch. Artwork of the muscles of the knee from the front, with red arrows showing the direction of movement of the knee cap (patella) when the quadriceps muscles of the thigh contracts. This movement is best observed by standing on the leg, locking the knee and contracting the thigh muscles. The nerve used is the femoral nerve, and the lack of this twitch is used as a diagnostic sign when applying a femoral nerve block during surgery. This is the left knee. For the right knee, see C016/6803

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating artwork titled "Patella Twitch" showcases the intricate muscles of the knee from a frontal perspective. Against a white background, this illustration highlights the normal physiology and range of movements in a healthy human body. The red arrows elegantly demonstrate the direction of movement that occurs when the quadriceps muscles contract, causing the knee cap (patella) to twitch. This particular movement is best observed by standing on one leg, locking the knee, and engaging the thigh muscles. It is interesting to note that during surgery, medical professionals utilize this twitch as a diagnostic sign when applying a femoral nerve block. The femoral nerve plays a crucial role in controlling this specific motion. With its detailed depiction of anatomy and biology, this print provides valuable insight into arthrology and biomechanics related to knees. It beautifully illustrates various components such as tendons, ligaments, musculature, and joints involved in facilitating smooth movement. While focusing on the left knee specifically (for information about the right knee refer to C016/6803), this artwork serves as an educational tool for students studying human physiology or anyone interested in understanding how our bodies function at their core. D & L GRAPHICS / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has skillfully captured both scientific accuracy and artistic appeal within this thought-provoking image.
