What is the name of the superficial bone that extends down the front of the lower leg? patella?

The superficial bone that extends down the front of the lower leg is the patella. The patella is a small circular bone that is suspended in front of the tibia by the quadriceps tendon superiorly and the patellar tendon or ligment inferiorly. The patella primarily functions in knee extension.
