The muscles associated with the knee joint are against this convention. The knee flexes posteriorly. The large muscle groups are the quadriceps-extensors and the hamstring-flexors.

The quadrecep group in the anterior part of the upper legs are extensor muscles.
The hamstring group in the posterior thigh are flexor muscles.
