The quadriceps extends the thigh and the hamstring muscles flex the knee
The Femoral nerve. (The motor branches innervate anterior thigh muscles - quadriceps, which flex the thigh and extend the knee.)
The quadriceps femoris group extends the leg at the knee joint. It is responsible for straightening the knee and kicking movements.
If it is below the inner thigh, it has to be the lower leg and if about the knee is the thigh, itself. There is no name for what you described.
The upper part of the leg is called the thigh. It extends from the hip to the knee and contains large muscles such as the quadriceps and hamstrings.
The femur, or thighbone, is the longest bone in the human body. It extends from the pelvis to the knee and is crucial for supporting body weight and facilitating movement.

rectus femoris
hamstrings
Biceps Femoris, Semimembranosus, and Semitendinosus
Paralysis of the quadriceps femoris muscle would make an individual unable to flex the thigh. This muscle is responsible for extending the knee and flexing the thigh at the hip joint.
To extend the leg straight at the knee you use the quadriceps. To bend the knee, you need the hamstring.Hamstring muscle groups.
Doing squats help alot, and lunges :)
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.
The femur is the longest and thickest bone of the human skeleton; and extends from the pelvis to the knee.
Quadriceps contracts to extend the knee joint. Rectus femoris, the part of quadriceps flex the hip joint on the thigh.
The quadriceps femoris group extends the leg at the knee joint. It is responsible for straightening the knee and kicking movements.
Semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and biceps femoris ... The hamstrings
