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.

How much do I need to increase my calorie intake?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer: d) No increase is needed during the first trimester, but consume an additional 350 – 450 Kcal per day during the second and third trimesters.

Explanation:

The women in pregnancy require a calorie intake of about 2,200-2,900 Kcal per day. The gradual increase occurs as time passes and required for the growth of the baby.

In the first trimester, the requirement for extra calories does not increase. But in the second trimester, the requirement for additional calories increases by 340 Kcal calories. By the third trimester, the calorie intake becomes 450 Kcal each day.  

Additional calorie demand can be fulfilled by nutrient-dense foods like protein, low fat and fat-free dairy products, fruits and vegetables. Fried food, sweets, and soda drinks must be avoided.
