The right answer is Strain
That would depend on the joint. The knee joint is straightened with the quadricep muscle (thigh). And the elbow joint is straightened with the tricep muscle (back of the arm)
Ligaments

Perhaps extensor muscles. (ligaments function to hold joints together, they are not muscles.)
