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.
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 your thigh muscle called?

What is the action of the quadriceps muscle group?

What three muscle extends the thigh and flexes the knee?
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.
