The flexor muscles are found in the quadriceps as well as the sartorius, iliopsoas, psoas minor, and the pectineus muscles. The rectus femoris is the primary flexor muscle of the quadriceps.

The extensor muscles are found in the hamstrings and the gluteus maximus.

What is the 2 muscles in the upper arm that work together to make the arm bend and straighten at the elbow?

Well there are two muscles which bend the arm: bending your arm from a straight position to a bent position uses the bicep (Latin name - Bicep Brachii) which is on the topside of your upper arm. Bending your arm from a bent position to a straight position uses the tricep (Latin name - Tricep Brachii) which is on the underside of your upper arm. Both muscles work in sinc with each other, so as one muscle tenses and contracts (causing the arm to bend one way or the other), the other losens.
