Hamstring Muscles

Common name applied to the muscles in the

Posterior compartment.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


They have a common origin from the ischial

tuberosity and crosses knee joint to insert on tibia
or fibula.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---


They are innervated by the tibial component of

sciatic nerve.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

They also have a common primary function of

flexing the leg, but they also help to extend and
adduct the thigh.

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

Their blood supply comes principally from the

perforating branches of the deep femoral artery.

Biceps Femoris - most lateral muscled with

a "long head" from the ischial tuberosity,

and a "short head" from the middle of the

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

linea aspera and the lateral supracondylar
ridge.
*The two heads unite to form a common
tendon, which deviates lateral to its
insertion into the apex of the head of the

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

fibula where it is joined by an extension of
the iliotibial tract.

?The short head receives a branch from
the common peroneal nerve; it also helps

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

in the lateral rotation of the leg.


Semitendinosus - usually fusiform tapering
distally into a long cylindrical tendon at the

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

popliteal region to be inserted to the upper
medial surface of the tibia, adjacent to the
attachments of the sartorius and gracilis.

Semimembranosus - usually has a fleshy belly

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

that form a thick flattened tendon that inserts at
the back of the medial condyle of the tibia, the
tendon contributes to the formation of the

"oblique popliteal ligament" of the knee joint,

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

which reinforces the posterior capsule of the
joint.
