Most muscles in the body have "counterparts", one pulls and your leg curls up, the other pulls and the leg straightens. They would be on opposite sides of your leg. The "biceps" are the upper arm top muscle, and the tri-ceps (I think) is the upper arm bottom muscle. They work in conjunction to let you 'curl a barbell'' or do a chin-up.
The function of the gluteus maximus (G-max) is primarily upper leg (thigh) extension, such as moving the upper leg backward as in rising from a squat position.
