The muscles of the legs do not follow the generalization that extensor muscles are on the posterior and flexor muscles are on the anterior.
A flexor muscle is a muscle which bends or flexes a limb. Most flexor muscles are located on the anterior aspect of the body.
anterior
The pectoralis major muscle is anterior to the subscapularis muscles, as it lies in front of the shoulder joint and rib cage. The subscapularis muscles are located on the posterior aspect of the shoulder blade and assist in internal rotation of the arm.
The muscle that is located on the ventral (anterior) side of the body is the pectorals major. The pectorals major is located in the chest of the human body/

The deltoid muscle is the big muscle on the shoulder. It has three parts; the front or anterior, middle and back or posterior. It involves the shoulder joint.
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 palps are located anterior to the gills and ventral to the anterior adductor muscle.
The tibialis anterior and tibialis posterior muscles are primarily assessed when the foot is placed in inversion. Tibialis anterior helps with dorsiflexion and inversion, while tibialis posterior assists with inversion and plantar flexion of the foot.
