Study the muscles of the pelvic girdle that act on the thigh and match each muscle with its PRIMARY function; Piriformis Gracilis Gluteus medius Gluteus maximus Iliacus Psoas major Brevis Gluteus minimus Magnus Adductors Abductors Flexors Extensors Part B: Thigh muscles that move the leg Muscles that flex and extend the leg at the knee joint are on the posterior and anterior sides of the femur. Some of these muscles originate on the pelvis and cross both the hip and knee joints.
