What corresponding muscle does leg raises go to?
Abductor muscle - moves a limb away from the midlineAdductor muscle - moves a limb towards the midlineExtensor muscle - increase the angle at a joint - extends a limbFlexor muscle - decreases the angle at a joint - flexes a limbPronator muscle - turns a limb to face downwardsSupinator muscle - turns a limb to face upwardsRotator muscle - rotates a limbIn the human body, these are the responsible muscles.*Muscles which move the thigh and their action*Gluteus maximus - Extends and rotates thigh laterally.Adductor longus - Adducts, medially rotates and flexes the thighAdductor brevis - Adducts, laterally rotates and flexes the thighAdductor magnus - Adducts, flexes, laterally rotates and extends the thigh.Rectus femoris - Extends knee and flexes hipVastus lateralis - Extends kneeVastus medialis - Extends kneeVastus intermedius - Extends kneeSartorius - Flexes knee.

What flexes the thigh and extends the knee?
rectus femoris
Muscle group that extends the thigh and flexes the knee?
hamstrings
What muscle extends the thigh?
There are many different muscles that help to move the thigh. The adductor Magnus is the muscle that extends the thigh. It also laterally rotates and flexes the thigh.
What extends the knee and flexes the thigh?
The Femoral nerve. (The motor branches innervate anterior thigh muscles - quadriceps, which flex the thigh and extend the knee.)
What is the name of upper part of the leg?

What muscle flexes thigh and extends leg?
The two main muscle groups in the upper leg are the quadriceps which extend your leg and the hamstrings which contract the leg.The biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus.The Hamstring Groupquadraceps and hamstring.Hamstring, biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosusBiceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus.
Muscle group extends the thigh and flexes the knee?
The general name for the group is hamstring. The technical names of the two primary muscles are semitendinosus and semimembranosus.
What anterior hip muscle flexes the thigh?
i THE ILIOPSOAS
What is the function of the rectus femoris muscle?
Rectus Femoris is a quadricep muscle located in the anterior thigh, on top of the vastus intermedius (another quadricep). All of the quadriceps insert to the patella, and the tibial tuberosity via the patellar ligament. Together they are responsible for extension of the knee. Rectus Femoris is the only quadricep that also crosses the hip joint (acetabulofemoral joint) and attaches to the AIIS (anterior inferior iliac spine). Because of this, Rectus Femoris also assists in flexion of the hip.
What is the action of the quadriceps muscle group?
Flexing the thigh, extending the leg, adducts leg
What is the Joint of the gastrocnemius?
It plantar flexes the foot at the ankle and flexes the leg at the knee.
