Question 0

Semitendinosus distal

Answer 0

Medial surface of superior part of tibia

Question 1

Semitendinosus Proximal

Answer 1

Ischial tuberosity

Question 2

Semitendinosus innervation

Answer 2

Tibial division of sciatic nerve L5, S1, S2

Question 3

Semitendinosus action

Answer 3

Extend hip joint, flex knee joint and rotate the leg medially when knee is flexed; when hip and knee are flexed, can extend trunk

Question 4

Semimembranosus action

Answer 4

Extend hip joint, flex knee joint and rotate the leg medially when knee is flexed; when hip and knee are flexed, can extend trunk

Question 5

Semimembranosus proximal

Answer 5

Ischial tuberosity

Question 6

Semimembranosus Distal

Answer 6

Posterior part of medial condyle of tibia; reflected attachment forms oblique popliteal ligament (to lateral femoral condyle)

Question 7

Semimembranosus innervation

Answer 7

Tibial division of sciatic nerve (L5, S1, S2)

Question 8

Biceps femoris long and short heads proximal

Answer 8

Long head: Ischial tuberosity

Short head: Linea aspera and lateral supracondylar line of femur

Question 9

Biceps femoris long and short heads distal

Answer 9

Lateral side of head of fibula; tendon is split at this site by fibular collateral ligament of knee

Question 10

Biceps femoris long and short heads innervation

Answer 10

Long head: tibial division of sciatic nerve (L5, S1, S2)

Short head: common fibular division of sciatic nerve (L5, S1, S2)

Question 11

Biceps femoris long and short heads actions

Answer 11

Flexes knee joint and rotates it laterally when knee is flexed; extends hip joint
