What is the primary flexor of the vertebral column?
Pectoralis Major is the correct answer -Lucein
How does the action of the rectus femoris differ from that of the other quadriceps muscles?
This muscle is also used to flex the thigh. The rectus femoris is the only muscle that can flex the hip. Injury to the rectus femoris muscle may result from overuse, as seen with kicking- or sprinting-related injuries. Inflammation of the muscle causes pain in the groin during physical exercises that use this muscle.
What abdominal muscles work hard to enable you to flex your abdomen during sit-ups?
The abdominal muscles called rectus abdominis are the ones that work hard to enable you to flex your abdomen when doing sit-ups. Other muscles used while doing sit-ups are the external oblique's, tensor fasciae latae and rectus femora's.
Is The antagonist muscle to the quadriceps is the hamstring?
The Hamstrings consist of three muscles that have the same action: the Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus and Semimembranosus. Their actions are to flex the knee joint, adduct the leg, and extend the thigh. The Quadriceps femoris is four muscles of the femur. They are the Rectus femoris, Vastus lateralis, Vastus medialis, and Vastus intermedialis. As a group (the quads) they extend the leg at the knee.
The elbow joints flex and?

Extend thigh and flex knee?
Biceps Femoris, Semimembranosus, and Semitendinosus
Paralysis of which muscle would make an individual unable to flex the hip?
To extend the leg straight at the knee you use the quadriceps. To bend the knee, you need the hamstring.Hamstring muscle groups.
How does the action of the rectus femoris differ from that of the other quadriceps muscles?
This muscle is also used to flex the thigh. The rectus femoris is the only muscle that can flex the hip. Injury to the rectus femoris muscle may result from overuse, as seen with kicking- or sprinting-related injuries. Inflammation of the muscle causes pain in the groin during physical exercises that use this muscle.
What extends the knee and flexes the thigh?
The Femoral nerve. (The motor branches innervate anterior thigh muscles - quadriceps, which flex the thigh and extend the knee.)
What are the funtions of the quadriceps?
Quadriceps contracts to extend the knee joint. Rectus femoris, the part of quadriceps flex the hip joint on the thigh.
What abdominal muscles work hard to enable you to flex your abdomen during sit-ups?
The abdominal muscles called rectus abdominis are the ones that work hard to enable you to flex your abdomen when doing sit-ups. Other muscles used while doing sit-ups are the external oblique's, tensor fasciae latae and rectus femora's.
What is flex and extended?
Muscles that flex the knee are the hamstrings which include your semitendinosus, semimembranosus and biceps femoris musces. Muscles that extend the knee are the quadriceps muscles which includes your vastus lateralis obliques, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis obliques and your rectus femoris.
Muscle flex the spine?
Generally, the main trunk flexors are Rectus Abdominus and the Obliques (Internal and External). Quadratus Lumborum, Trapezius and Latissimus Dorsi also play a small role in flexion.
What leg muscles are similar in function to the triceps and biceps in the arm?
The Quadriceps extend just like the triceps, which include the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius. The Hamstrings flex just like the biceps, which include the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. Quads extend, Triceps extend Hamstrings flex, arm biceps (biceps brachii, brachialis) flex
How do you control the column order in Flex Data reporting?
I can move the columns' display order on the Set Report Layout tab
What is the definition of lateral flexion?
Lateral flexion usually refers to the spine, or vertebral column. You can laterally flex your head, neck, or your torso (back). =answer= Lateral direction is away from the midline of the body (an imaginary line from the middle of your node to your belly button). Flexion is the opposite to extension where the angle between anterior surfaces is decreased (as you being then closer together by 'bending') - except for the knee where the opposite is true. Lateral flexion is therefore a combination of there two movements.
