Anterior
- B.
Posterior
- C.
Lateral.
- D.
Patella tendon
Correct Answer(s)
A. Anterior
B. Posterior
C. Lateral.Explanation
The lower leg muscles can be grouped into three categories: anterior, posterior, and lateral. The anterior muscles are located in the front of the leg and include the tibialis anterior and extensor muscles. The posterior muscles are located at the back of the leg and include the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) and the Achilles tendon. The lateral muscles are located on the outer side of the leg and include the peroneal muscles. The patella tendon is not a group of muscles, but rather a tendon that connects the patella (kneecap) to the tibia (shinbone). Therefore, the correct answer is anterior, posterior, and lateral.Rate this question:
