Rectus femoris+ anterior thigh; quadriceps+ extension of leg at knee Vastus lateralis+ lateral anterior thigh; quadriceps+ extension of leg at knee Vastus Medialis+ medial anterior thigh; quadriceps+ extension of leg at knee Vastus intermedius+ deep anterior thigh; quadriceps+ extension of leg at knee Sartorius (*) parallel strap-like muscle that crosses thigh flexion of knee forward Biceps femoris* posterior thigh; hamstring* flexion of leg at knee Semitendinosus* posterior thigh; hamstring* flexion of leg at knee Semimembranosus* posterior thigh; hamstring* flexion of leg at knee
What knee extensor muscle also assists in flexion of the thigh?
rectus femoris
What is the antagonist muscle in the flexion of the knee?
All muscles that are agonists or synergists in knee extention, are antagonists in knee flexion.
What is the function of the longest muscle?
Function of the sartorius is flexion of the hip and knee joints. It is also called as 'Tailor's muscle'.
What muscle is responsible for unlocking the extended knee in preparation for flexion?
7
Prime mover of the knee flexion?
The three muscles that aid on knee flexion are the semitendiosus, semimembranosus, and the biceps femoris. None of these muscles are considered the prime mover because they all cross two joints. Therefore all three of the muscles are considered to be synergist.
What are examples of reverse muscle action of the human body?
The rectus femoris THe regular Muscle Action is hip flexion with knee extension, as in kicking a ball or doing a straight leg raise The reverse muscle action is still hip flexion with knee extension, but as in doing sit-ups while lying supine with knes straight ahead
What muscle is located in the posterior part of the knee joint and is responsible for turning the tibia inward during full flexion?
The popliteus
