The muscles used to straighten the leg are commonly known as the Quadriceps, a group of four muscles on the front of the thigh. This, however, is only the cast when the knee is isolated. If you were to stand up from a squatted position, you would also be using your gluteal muscles as well as your hamstrings to extend the thigh and stabilize the knee, while your quads and inner thigh muscles (the adductor) help to straighten the the knee. You would also be using your calf muscles to straighten the ankle.
Hamstring
chicken legs are good :3
The muscles in a leg are used to straighten it. They lengthen and contract to move and control leg movement, including straightening.
The bones and muscles of the leg work together when the leg moves. The bones give the leg its structure, while the muscles hang onto the bones and allow the leg to actually move. The muscles make their movements via contractions and expansions.
Ummm I think chicken legs :P

The main action of the medial thigh muscles is adduction, which means bringing the leg towards the midline of the body. These muscles work together to bring the legs closer together during movements like walking or crossing the legs.
No, you should not straighten your leg after a knee subluxation as this action could further hurt your knee joint.
Leg muscles are deep to the skin of your leg. The skin is superficial to the muscles.
