Answer:

  • The muscle that flexes the thigh is the rectus femoris.
  • The muscle that exerts the thigh is the biceps femoris.
  • The muscle that flexes the knee is the biceps femoris.
  • The muscle that extends the knee is the Rectus Femoris.
  • The muscle that flexes the foot is the Tibialis anterior .

Explanation:

The movement of the upper and lower limbs depends on the action of muscle contraction and relaxation.  The muscle function depends on the location of the muscle in relation to the joint where it will produce the effect:

  1. <em>R</em><em><u>ectus femoris</u></em><em> </em><em>is located on the anterior aspect of the thigh, and is a muscle that influences both the movement of the thigh and the knee, producing the flexion of both. </em>
  2. <em>B</em><em><u>iceps femoris</u></em><em> is located postero-laterally in the thigh, allowing the flexion of the knee and the extension of the thigh on the hip. </em>
  3. <em><u>Tibialis anterior</u></em><em>, in the front face of the leg, contributes with the movement of the foot during the step, besides carrying out the dorsal flexion of the foot.</em>

Muscle movement also depends on the coordinated action of the antagonistic muscles, since while one group contracts, the other must relax.

You are alone and have identified an adult who is not responsive. You have called 911. What is the next step in CPR?
Shalnov [3]

The right answer is B. Begin chest compressions.

Chest compression is a first aid gesture that occurs under two circumstances:

** the victim is conscious and chokes (total obstruction of the upper airways) but can not practice Heimlich's method (example of a pregnant woman or an obese person, or an infant on which the method Mofenson failed, or an unconscious victim for whom the insufflations do not pass); the purpose here is to cause an overpressure in the lungs to dislodge the foreign body;

** the victim is unconscious, does not breathe and his heart is no longer beating, the chest compressions are used here to circulate the blood; alternating thirty chest compressions and two breaths (mouth-to-mouth); all artificial ventilation / cardiac massage is called cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

One important concept to know that was not mentioned in the question or in the propositions is that there has to be a cardiopulmonary arrest to start the chest compression because there is we may have an unconscious victim who does not respond but breathes!
