Your legs are composed of bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. They all work together to help your legs stretch, bend, flex and perform other general movements. Your leg has seven main, or large groups, of muscle as well as several tendons.endons connect your muscles to your bones and act as cables, allowing your bones to move your muscles. Your quadricep muscles, also known as quads, consist of four muscles that compose the front of your leg; hence the name quads, meaning four. Your quads are located on the front, or anterior, part of your leg.
