Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The articularis genus muscle is a small muscle located in the front of the knee joint. Its action is to tense and pull the joint capsule of the knee joint proximally, which helps to protect the joint and maintain its stability. It does not directly contribute to flexion of the leg at the knee joint, move the lateral meniscus, or flex the thigh at the hip joint.
