The popiletus muscle is the muscle that extends the knee , laterally rotates the tibia.

The popliteus muscle is a little muscle that extends the knee and form muscle the floor of the popliteal fossa. It is part of deep posterior leg muscles, that rotate laterally tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus.

The popliteus muscle extends to the knee joint. It is formed from the femur and the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, and also extend to the proximal tibia.

The popliteus muscle help to function in an gait cycle by causing the flexion of the extended (“locked”) knee.

Therefore, The popiletus muscle is the muscle that extends the knee , laterally rotates the tibia.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

músculo cardíaco

Explanation:

Los 3 tipos de tejido muscular son 1-músculo cardíaco o miocardio (involuntario), 2-músculo liso (involuntario) y 3-músculo esquelético (voluntario). Las células del músculo cardíaco, las cuales son conocidas como 'miocardiocitos', poseen una apariencia estriada y forman la pared del corazón. Los miocardiocitos son alargados, ramificados, y poseen un núcleo central (son células uninucleadas, a diferencia de las células del músculo esquelético, las cuales son multinucleadas). Además, los micardicitos son más cortos (80 a 100 µm) y más anchos (aprox. 15 µm) que las células del músculo esquelético. Los miocardiocitos presentan uniones especializadas conocidas como discos intercalares, los cuales son un tipo de complejo de unión entre los límites de dos cardiomiocitos. En el citoplasma de los cardiomiocitos se encuentran las miofibrillas, las cuales son estructuras contráctililes que les confieren a las células musculares sus propiedades características de contracción y de elasticidad. En estas células (cardiomiocitos) las miofibrillas se disponen de manera longitudininal con un patrón estriado.
