What calf muscle help you stand?
Every muscle in the back of the calf (with the exception of the popliteus) helps to raise you up on your tip toes.
What does the popliteus muscle do?
it unlocks the patella to allow knee flexion The popliteus muscle also allows the knee to turn inwards toward the centerline, thus allowing a person to sit on the ground with crossed legs or to swing the leg inwards such as to kick a soccer ball with the inside of the foot.
What muscle is located in the posterior part of the knee joint and is responsible for turning the tibia inward during full flexion?
The popliteus
Do you have a muscule in your knee?
Yes, the quadriceps muscle is a group of four muscles located in the front of the thigh that plays a major role in knee extension. The quadriceps muscles connect to the kneecap and help stabilize and provide movement for the knee joint.

I believe it is the semitendinosus, semimembranosus and popliteus muscles.
What muscle does the last 10 degrees of knee extension?
The muscle primarily responsible for the last 10 degrees of knee extension is the popliteus muscle. It is a small muscle located at the back of the knee joint and helps to unlock the knee by internally rotating the tibia on the femur.
What unlocks the knee joint for flexion?
The knee joint is unlocked for flexion primarily by the action of the popliteus muscle. When the popliteus contracts, it rotates the femur slightly on the tibia, allowing the knee to flex. This muscle acts to "unlock" the joint from its extended position, enabling smooth movement during bending. Additionally, the collateral ligaments and other soft tissues also play a role in stabilizing the knee during this process.
What is the muscles with a longest name?
The muscle with the longest name is the "sternocleidomastoid." This muscle is located in the neck and plays a crucial role in rotating and flexing the head. Its name is derived from its points of origin and insertion: the sternum (sternal), clavicle (cleido), and mastoid process of the temporal bone.
What muscle is named for one or more of its attachments?
The sternocleidomastoid muscle is named for its attachments to the sternum (sterno-), clavicle (cleido-), and mastoid process of the temporal bone. This muscle plays a crucial role in neck movement and rotation, as well as flexing the neck. Its name reflects its points of origin and insertion, highlighting its anatomical connections.
