Leg muscles in running. Artwork showing the muscles in the leg of a runner. There are over 600 muscles in the human body,with at least 14 major muscles in the hip,thigh and lower leg,along with many more smaller muscles. The leg muscles are used in walking and running,producing the movements that raise and lower the legs,and bend the hip and knee joints. They are skeletal muscles,under conscious control and attached to the hip and leg bones by tendons. They are also enclosed in fascia,membranes that divide them into regions called compartments | |
