*Blood flow is regulated in all three types of blood vessels through constriction and dilation.

*Contraction of blood vessels slows blood flow, while relaxation of blood vessels, or dilation, allows free flow of blood.

*Muscle fibers control the constriction and dilation of vessels. In the capillaries, rings of muscle called capillary sphincters control blood flow.

*The directional flow of blood in the veins is controlled with valves , which prevent backward blood flow when closed, and allow blood to flow only toward the heart when open.

Vasoconstriction and vasodilatation allow blood vessels (arteries and veins) to control blood flow and thus control the blood pressure. This is possible because of the smooth muscle cells that surround the vessels. The contraction and dilatation of those muscles is controlled by chemical signals (e.g. norepinephrine constricts the vessels, while NO dilates them).

Answer:

Flexor Group- group of five muscles mainly in charge of movements of forearm, hand and fingers.

Peroneal Group- these muscles play a role in the movements of the ankle joint  and support of the foot.

Hamstring Group- The hamstrings are a group of muscles and their tendons at the rear of the upper leg. They include the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. The hamstrings flex the knee joint and extend the thigh to the back side of the body.

Gluteal Group- The gluteal muscles are a group of three muscles which make up the buttocks: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. The three muscles originate from the ilium and sacrum and insert on the femur.

Quadricep Group- The Latin translation of 'quadriceps' is 'four headed,' as the group contains four separate muscles: the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and the rectus femoris. Each of the vastus muscles originates on the femur bone and attaches to the patella, or kneecap.

Extensor Group- The superficial extensors of the forearm are a group of six muscles situated in the superficial posterior compartment of the forearm. These muscles include the brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor digitorum, extensor carpi ulnaris  and extensor digiti minimi.

Sartorius Group- couldnt  find anything

Adductor Group- The adductors are a group of muscles, as the name suggests, that primarily function to adduct the femur at the hip joint. Although they are all located somewhere along the medial side of the thigh, they originate in different places at the front of the pelvis.
