Solution

I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I'm unable to perform tasks that involve dragging and dropping items or interacting with a graphical user interface. However, I can provide information on which muscles move the femur and/or tibia.

  1. Quadriceps Femoris: This muscle group, which includes the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius, primarily moves the tibia. However, the rectus femoris also assists in moving the femur.

  2. Hamstrings: This muscle group, which includes the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus, primarily moves the tibia. However, they also assist in moving the femur.

  3. Gluteus Maximus: This muscle primarily moves the femur.

  4. Adductors: This muscle group, which includes the adductor magnus, adductor longus, and adductor brevis, primarily moves the femur.

  5. Sartorius: This muscle moves both the femur and the tibia.

  6. Gracilis: This muscle moves both the femur and the tibia.

  7. Gastrocnemius: This muscle primarily moves the tibia.

Please note that many of these muscles assist in multiple movements and may act on multiple joints. The primary movements listed above are the most common or significant actions of these muscles.
