I'm trying to learn the muscles, and have a muscle animation program. Viewing it I can clearly see how the rectus femoris is responsible for knee extension. It is clear because I can clearly see the attachment of the muscle to the top of the patella.
What I can't understand is how it is also responsible for hip flexion. I don't see how it could do this if it only attaches to the patella.
Thanks for any help.
