|---|---|
| strong hip flexor, deep in pelvis, a composite of two muscles | iliopsoas |
| power extensor of the hip; forms most of buttock mass | gluteus max |
| prime mover of plantar flexion; a composite of two muscles | triceps surae |
| inverts and dorsiflexes the foot | tibialis anterior |
| the group that enables you to draw your legs to the midline of your body, as when standing at attention | adductors |
| the muscle group that extends the knee | quadriceps |
| the muscle group that extends the thigh and flexes the knee | hamstrings |
| the smaller hip muscle commonly used as an injection site | gluteus medius |
| the thin superficial muscle of the medial thigh | gracilis |
| a muscle enclosed withtin fascia that blends into the iliotibial tract; a synergist of the iliopsoas | dorsiflexes and everts the foot; prime mover of toe extension |
| a superficial muscle of the lateral leg; plantar flexes and everts the foot | fibularis longus |
| a muscle deep to the soleus; prime mover of foot inversion; stabilizes the medial longitudinal arch of the foot and plantar flexes the ankle | tibialis posterior |
| three muscles _, _, and _, are commonly used for intramuscular injections | deltoid, gluteus max, vasti |
| the insertion of the _ group contains a large sesamoid bone, the patella | quadriceps |

| the bulk of the tissue of a muscle tends to lie_ to the part of the body it causes to move | proximal |
| the extrinsic muscles of the hand originate on the _ | forearm |
