Question
Classify Muscles That Move the Leg
By dragging and dropping each muscle name, indicate whether it flexes or extends the leg at the knee.
Solution
To classify muscles that move the leg at the knee into categories of flexors and extensors, we can identify common muscles involved in these actions:
Flexors (Muscles that flex the leg at the knee):
- Biceps Femoris
- Semitendinosus
- Semimembranosus
- Sartorius
- Gracilis
Extensors (Muscles that extend the leg at the knee):
- Quadriceps Femoris (comprising Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Medialis, and Vastus Intermedius)
By categorizing these muscles, you can drag and drop them accordingly based on their functions at the knee joint.
