quadricep
Which muscle groups flex the knee?
hamstrings
Which muscle causes the knee to flex?
The Quadriceps.
Which quadricep muscle has an additional action and what is it?
It is the rectus femoris, which along with the action of knee extension, it also flexes the hip
What muscles plantar flex the ankle but do not flex the knee?
The Gastrocnemius and the Soleus flexes the knee and the foot. The Plantaris is an unimportant muscle. Many people do not have it and doctors tend to use this muscle for tendon graphs.
What muscles flex the knee?
hamstring group is the primary muscle group for flexing the knee
Which muscle that will make the knee bend when it contracts. Which muscle that will make the leg straighten at the knee when it contracts. which of that two muscle is a lexor and an extensor?
The flexor would be the hamstring, and gastrocnemius, which bend/flex the knee. The quadriceps, are extensors, which straighten/extend the knee.
What muscles are used for raising the knee when standing?
Quadricep
Extends the thigh and flex the knee?
The primary muscle responsible for extending the thigh is the quadriceps femoris, specifically the rectus femoris. To flex the knee, the primary muscles involved are the hamstrings, particularly the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. These muscle actions are important for movements like running and kicking.
Where is the Sartorius?
Sartorius is one of the Quadricep muscles. It is the only muscle that I know of that has a double insertion point. It inserts on the distal part of the hip and serpentines to the medial part of the knee where it inserts.
Paralysis of which woul make an individual unable to flex the thigh?
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.
What is the smallest muscle in your leg?
