What muscles work together to straighten your leg?

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.
