The Femoral nerve.  It comes out of your low back and innervates certain parts of the upper leg (thigh).

Dumbells squates as well as lunges will do wonders for your thighs and glutes.  Lunges really target the whole leg.  When I do them I especially feel it in my inner thighs.  Squates work your glutes very well too.

Strength training that involves you legs. Routines that places emphasis on explosion and speed. This will help train your fast twitch fibers in you legs so that when you do get ready to start plyos, your body can adapt quickly.

For the past year I have focused on my leg strength and had great results.  They're over 50% stronger in six months.  From what I've read squats are the best to develop leg strength, but the downside is if they're not done properly you can hurt your back (I don't like exercises that compress the spine).  I initially did these, but injured my lower abdominal about 9 months ago and never did them again.  I found I can get a great workout doing a variety of other exercises.  \nHere's what I do:  leg curls (single and double leg{three different machines})\nleg extension \ncalf raises (double leg on the machine & single leg lowering the heal with the toes on a step)\nIncline leg press (push legs up at a incline)\nadductor\nabductor\ndumbbell squats\ndumbbell lunges\nsingle leg squats (no weight, balance yourself)\n\nIf you do these exercises and increase the weight every 3-4 days you strength train, you'll have stronger legs fast.  I only lift my legs twice a week.

This is such a fun question.  I don't want to hold you back but as you advance toward your goal, please remember my experience and  advice.   I completely severed the bone in my left arm known as the humorous, it was quite horrifying, while attempting my very first dunk.    Take what you are trying to do serious and advance incrementally while avoiding injury.   \n\nThe largest and most powerful muscles are in your hips and buttocks.  Do exercises that strengthen and tone these areas such as lunges and thrust ups (put your jumping leg up on a chair then from a still position use your hip muscle to thrust yourself straight up).  Jump rope, especially the weighted ones.  \n\nThe next point will seem not important but I think otherwise.  In later years even though my jumping level decreased, I could dunk easier.   I did not grow and get a bigger hand, just much stronger grip.  Use one of those grip squeeze exercises tools and practice lifting (palming) a basketball with one hand.\n  \nAnd one last thing, watch Jordan (on old highlight tapes) on his dunk where he takes off from the free throw line during the NBA slam dunk contest.  Note how when he lands he keeps his shoulders square with the direction he is soaring and absorbs the landing shock with his knees in the proper position.  Short guys like us can sometimes get rotated when we are way up there and it makes for harsh landings; I also blew my leg out having not realized this last point.  I tore multiple ligaments and now I can't soar to score.\n\nStay healthy!

The muscles have a certain muscle tone (partial contraction) which keeps the body upright instead of limp. This is all your muscles, not just in your back. However, your back does have the long muscles running down your spinal chord (the name escapes me currently which makes me sad). Also, your leg muscles will partially contract to keep your legs upright.\n\nUnless you're dead, medicated, or paralyzed - your muscles will always have a partial contraction (aka tone).

it actually depends on which specific leg action you want to test.among PTs,the test for muscle strength is called the MMT (manual muscle testing) usually done with the break test.\nmuscle strength ranges from 0-5 and we usually start the test at 3.\nfor example if you want to test the strength of your leg extensors,let the subject sit over the edge of a plinth and with the knees flexed to 90 degrees ask him to extend it without resistance first,then from there we proceed depending on the results.

Squats, Lunges, and Leg Press are good for the entire leg. They work your quads, hams, and calves. Also, include cardio (walk/run, biking, etc.) and a proper diet to make sure you lose the fat.
