WHAT DOES LEG MUSCLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Leg

A leg is a weight bearing and locomotive structure, usually having a columnar shape. During locomotion, legs function as "extensible struts". The combination of movements at all joints can be modeled as a single, linear element capable of changing length and rotating about an omnidirectional "hip" joint. As an anatomical animal structure it is used for locomotion. The distal end is often modified to distribute force. Most animals have an even number of legs. As a component of furniture it is used for the economy of materials needed to provide the support for the useful surface, the table top or chair seat.
