What corresponding muscle does leg raises go to?
Abductor muscle - moves a limb away from the midlineAdductor muscle - moves a limb towards the midlineExtensor muscle - increase the angle at a joint - extends a limbFlexor muscle - decreases the angle at a joint - flexes a limbPronator muscle - turns a limb to face downwardsSupinator muscle - turns a limb to face upwardsRotator muscle - rotates a limbIn the human body, these are the responsible muscles.*Muscles which move the thigh and their action*Gluteus maximus - Extends and rotates thigh laterally.Adductor longus - Adducts, medially rotates and flexes the thighAdductor brevis - Adducts, laterally rotates and flexes the thighAdductor magnus - Adducts, flexes, laterally rotates and extends the thigh.Rectus femoris - Extends knee and flexes hipVastus lateralis - Extends kneeVastus medialis - Extends kneeVastus intermedius - Extends kneeSartorius - Flexes knee. Flexes hip and rotates femur laterallyBiceps femoris - Flexes leg and extends thighSemitendinosus - Flexes leg and extends thighSemimembranosus - Flexes leg and extends thigh
What muscle extends the thigh?
There are many different muscles that help to move the thigh. The adductor Magnus is the muscle that extends the thigh. It also laterally rotates and flexes the thigh.
Muscle group extends the thigh and flexes the knee?
The general name for the group is hamstring. The technical names of the two primary muscles are semitendinosus and semimembranosus.
What extends the knee and flexes the tight?
The hamstrings (specifically the long head of the biceps femoris, semitendonosis, and semimembranosis)
What is the function of the rectus femoris muscle?
Rectus Femoris is a quadricep muscle located in the anterior thigh, on top of the vastus intermedius (another quadricep). All of the quadriceps insert to the patella, and the tibial tuberosity via the patellar ligament. Together they are responsible for extension of the knee. Rectus Femoris is the only quadricep that also crosses the hip joint (acetabulofemoral joint) and attaches to the AIIS (anterior inferior iliac spine). Because of this, Rectus Femoris also assists in flexion of the hip.
What three muscle extends the thigh and flexes the knee?
The muscle of the thigh are classified into three groups, anterior group, posterior group, and interior or adductors group. There are four muscle on the anterior group - quadriceps femoris- and their function is to extend the knee or extend the thigh depend on what part of the muscle don't move. Those muscle are the rectus femorarlis, vastu intermedius, vastu medialis, and vastus lateralis. The muscle that flex the knee are located on the back of the thigh and form the posterior group. They are the biceps femoris, semitendinousus, and the semimembranosus, better known as Hamstring.
How do you develop the outer thigh line that extends along the thigh from the hip to just above the side of the knee?
Doing squats help alot, and lunges :)
