What are the three muscles that make up the hamstrings?
There are three main muscles of the posterior compartment of the thigh. They are the biceps femoris, the semitendinosus and the semimembranosus. The biceps femoris runs down the outside of the leg and inserts on the head of the fibula, the semitendinosus runs down the inside of the leg and inserts on the front of the tibia and the semimembranosus runs down the inside of the leg underneath the semitendinosus and inserts on the front of the tibia as well. Together, they cause flexion of the knee and extension of the hip. The three muscles that make up the posterior thigh muscles are:
What is the relationship between a contraction and an extension when dealing with musclular system?
When a muscle contracts it causes flexion and when muscles relax they cause extension
What muscles cause horizontal adduction in the shoulder?
The major muscles involved in horizontal adduction or flexion is the anterior deltoid fibres, pectoralis major and minor. Bicep complex(bbicep brachii, brachioradialis and forearm flexor) comes into action as synergists, if the leverage is long.The antagonists of horizontal flexion is posterior deltoid fibres,teres major, minor, lats and the associated rotator cuff muscle(infraspinatus)

What are the muscles in the upper arm that cause it to straighten?
Tricep brachii is responsible for extension (straightening) of the arm at the elbow. There are 3 heads of the Tricep; the long, lateral and medial heads. The Tricep is an antagonist of the bicep and brachialis muscles of the upper arm, which both assist in flexion at the elbow joint.
What does nerve entrapment exacerbrated by lumbar extension hip extension and lateral flexion of the lumbar spine mean?
This means that when your muscles stretch certain ways that the nerves are being pressed against and can't move causing severe pain down the lining of the muscles being used. Flexion is used when the toes are pointed causing the muscles in the back of the leg to pull, and extension is when you extend a muscle past its normal resting point. These stretches cause many painful issues for people diagnosed with disorders such as sciatica.

What muscle do to cause movement?
All muscles cause movement due to the contraction of coupled muscle cells. Perhaps the question intended to inquire about muscles that cause a bending in which the joint angle decreases. Muscles of this type are called flexor muscles (biceps for example).
