The thigh muscles are responsible for various movements, including flexion (bending the leg at the hip joint), extension (straightening the leg at the hip joint), adduction (bringing the leg toward the midline of the body), abduction (moving the leg away from the midline of the body), and rotation (turning the leg inward or outward). These movements are crucial for walking, running, jumping, and other activities.
