What muscle covers the front and side of the thigh?
The quadriceps muscle covers the front of the thigh, while the adductor muscles cover the inner thigh and the abductor muscles cover the outer thigh.
Is The antagonist muscle to the quadriceps is the hamstring?
The Hamstrings consist of three muscles that have the same action: the Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus and Semimembranosus. Their actions are to flex the knee joint, adduct the leg, and extend the thigh. The Quadriceps femoris is four muscles of the femur. They are the Rectus femoris, Vastus lateralis, Vastus medialis, and Vastus intermedialis. As a group (the quads) they extend the leg at the knee.
What are the four muscles that extend the legs?
Vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius,
What is the common name for rectus femoris?
"Funny bone". (If you bump the tip of it accidentally, you'll know where that name came from.) "The Funny Bone".
What muscles are used for high jump?
Muscles that are used while doing High Knees are Hamstrings
Why is biceps femoris is the antagonist muscle in knee extension?
The biceps femoris is one of the hamstring muscles located at the back of the thigh, and its primary function is to flex the knee and extend the hip. During knee extension, the quadriceps muscles contract to straighten the leg, while the biceps femoris must relax to allow this movement to occur. Hence, it acts as an antagonist to the quadriceps during knee extension, opposing their action and facilitating smooth movement.
Hamstring muscles serve as antagonists for what group of muscles?
Quadriceps femoris
For what two reasons is the quadriceps femoris muscle known by this name?
Quadriceps=4 heads Femoris= Upper leg Quadricepts femoris= 4 muscles of the upper leg.
What are some effective rectus femoris exercises to strengthen and tone the quadriceps muscles?
Some effective rectus femoris exercises to strengthen and tone the quadriceps muscles include squats, lunges, leg presses, and leg extensions. These exercises target the quadriceps, including the rectus femoris, helping to build strength and definition in the muscles.
What is a body part that starts with Q?

== That is actually what that muscle group is called, to the best of my knowledge. == The four muscles that make up the quadriceps group are: * Vastus Medialis (Internus) * Vastus Intermedius * Vastus Lateralis (Externus) * Rectus Femoris
How does the stretch reflex cause the quadriceps femoris muscle group to contract?
Tapping on the patellar tendon stretches receptors called the muscle spindles in the quadriceps muscle group of the anterior thigh. This stimulus evokes a rapid motor reflex to contract the quadriceps and shorten the muscles. This process is called the patellar reflex.
