Definitely going with quadriceps femoris for this one. I recall it being the prime mover in knee extension from my notes.

Elbert

I feel like the gastrocnemius might play a role too, but it’s mainly for plantarflexion, isn’t it?
GI
Gilberto

ME
Melinda

I'm feeling a bit lost on this anatomy question. I'll need to review my notes on the muscles of the lower limb before moving on.

Okay, let me review what I know about knee extension. The quadriceps are the prime movers, so I'm going to go with C on this one.

DA
Daron

I'm a bit unsure on this one. I know the quadriceps are involved in knee extension, but I'm not sure if the other options might also play a role.

C) Quadriceps femoris. Gotta love those quads!
BE
Berry

I'd say C, but I'm still trying to figure out how the gastrocnemius fits into all this. Knee and ankle, you know?
AL
Alva

The quadriceps femoris is the main muscle group that extends the knee, so I'm pretty confident C is the right answer.
JA
Jani
