--- 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 offlexing the leg, but they also help to extend and
adduct the thigh.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Their blood supply comes principally from theperforating branches of the deep femoral artery.

Biceps Femoris - most lateral muscled witha "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 supracondylarridge.
*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 ofthe 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 uppermedial 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 atthe back of the medial condyle of the tibia, the
tendon contributes to the formation of the
"oblique popliteal ligament" of the knee joint,

which reinforces the posterior capsule of thejoint.
