biceps femoris , semimembranous and semitendinosus
hamstrings
which joints do hamstrings cross
hip and knee joint
act at both joints
contract to assist gluteus maximum ogf lower limb with hip extension
hamstrings assist which movements
extension of lower limb at hip joint
flexion at knee joint
biceps femoris has 2 heads long and short the biceps femoris is the most ……… of the hamstrings
a.lateral
b.medial
a.lateral
semitendinosus is the most ………. of the hamstrings with a very long tendon
a.lateral
b.medial
b.medial
semi membranosis is immediately deep to this
where does the long head of biceps femoris originate
ischial tuberosity
so do the semi muscles

linea aspera
on back of femur
where does the common tendon of biceps femoris insert
head of fibula
where does semitendinosus muscle insert
upper anterior aspect of proximal tibia
where does semi membranosus insert
higher than semimem on proxima; tibia
which spinal nerves form sciatic nerve
l4,l5,s1,s2,s3
a torn cruciate ligament is replaced by a portion of which muscle
semitendinosus
the hamstrings function
extend lower limb at hip joint
flex lower limb at knee joint
biceps femoris allows for small amount of lateral rotation at knee in extension
others allow for small amount of medial rotatio
