The orange cell location identifies which muscle group?

The orange cell location identifies which muscle group?

• A. Calves and hamstrings
• B. Quadriceps
• C. Hip flexors
• D. Neck

Answer: (B)

This question tests identifying muscle groups by where the muscle sits in the body. The orange cell is placed on the front of the thigh, the region where the quadriceps reside. The quadriceps are the group of four muscles that extend the knee (and include the rectus femoris, which also crosses the hip). That anterior-thigh location is why the orange marker identifies the quadriceps as the targeted muscle group. If the marker were on the back of the thigh, it would point to calves/hamstrings; on the front of the hip area, to the hip flexors; or at the neck, to neck muscles. So the orange location aligns with the quadriceps.
