FLEXORS OF THE HIP:
psoas major
iliacus
sartorius
rectus femoris
EXTENSORS OF THE HIP:
gluteus maximus
biceps femoris
semitendinosus
semimembranosus
FLEXORS OF THE KNEE:
gracilis
sartorius
biceps femoris
semitendinosus
semimembranosus
EXTENSORS OF THE KNEE (quadriceps femoris):
vastus medialis
vastus intermedius
vastus lateralis
rectus femoris
Notice that the BICEPS FEMORIS, SEMITENDINOSUS, AND SEMIMEMBRANOSUS make up the "hamstrings" that can BOTH extend the hip and/or flex the knee.
Also, the RECTUS FEMORIS is involved in BOTH flexing the hip and/or extending the knee
