What else can I help you with?
Which is the strongest muscle of body?
quadricep femoris
What muscle flexes the knee and stabilizes the patella?
quadricep
What is your thigh muscle called?
Your thigh muscle is called your Quadricep.
What is the antagonist to the quadriceps muscle group?
The hamstring muscle group (biceps femoris, semitendonosis, semimembranosis) are the antagonists to the quadricep group.
One of the prime movers for flexion at the hips?
The prim mover for hip flexion is the Rectus femoris. This is a quadricep muscle that crosses the hip joint.
What is Lengthening of muscle is called?
The lengthening of a muscle is called 'relaxing'. As the SHORT muscles work antagonistically- when one contracts, one relaxes. Therefore as one muscle shortens the other lengthens. This is between the bicep and tricep and the hamstring and quadricep. When a muscle shortens it also thickens, this is why you can feel your muscle rise when you bring your arm towards you.
When muscles lengthen?

This is between the bicep and tricep and the hamstring and quadricep. When a muscle shortens it also thickens, this is why you can feel your muscle rise when you bring your arm towards you.
Which quadricep muscle has an additional action and what is it?
It is the rectus femoris, which along with the action of knee extension, it also flexes the hip
Where is the Sartorius?
Sartorius is one of the Quadricep muscles. It is the only muscle that I know of that has a double insertion point. It inserts on the distal part of the hip and serpentines to the medial part of the knee where it inserts.
How much does the quadricep muscle weigh?
Quadriceps weigh about 90 pounds. What? Are you kidding? Where did you get this information? Shame on you for misleading readers in this manner.
Is it true or false that The quadricep muscle is used to flex the knee?
False. The quadriceps muscle is primarily responsible for extending the knee, not flexing it. The muscles that flex the knee are mainly the hamstrings.
What is the action of the quadriceps muscle group?
Flexing the thigh, extending the leg, adducts leg
