Which muscle is located towards the front of the lower leg?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tibialis anterior is located towards the front of the tibia (the shin bone).
The tibialis posterior is located towards the back of the tibia.
The vastus lateralis is located towards the outside of the leg.
The adductor longus is located towards the inside of the leg. This muscle adducts (move toward the midline) the leg.
Remember that anterior is the anatomical term for "towards the front".  Knowing this would allow you to make an educated guess that tibialis anterior must be located towards the front of the body. Most muscles are named after their location or points of attachment, so use your knowledge of anatomical terms (like anterior and posterior) to your advantage.
