all mm work to extend the thigh and flex the knee EXCEPT... the short head of the of the biceps femoris, it inserts on the linea asprea (it does NOT cross the hip and so cannot act here) the short head of biceps femoris acts only to flex the leg
What a supplies the posterior thigh
deep a of the thigh
if a mm in the posterior thigh acts to extend the hip where must it insert?
ischial tuberosity
in what position must the knee be in order to rotate it? what mm are responsible for this?
the knee must be flexed
the biceps femoris laterally rotate it and the semimembranosus and semitendonosus do medial rotation
where does the semitendinosus insert and attach?
the ischial tuberosity to the superomedial tibia
flexes the knee
extends the thigh
medially rotate knee when flexed

** from a more proximal position the semitentinosus mm is in the mmiddle of the biceps femoris and the semimembranosus, the semitentinosus then courses medially to insert on the top medial part of the tibia
semimembranosus
is on the post thigh, it extends the hip and flexes the knee.
it lies medially
it medially rotates the knee when it is flexed
what is a cool feature of the semimembranosus?
it has the oblique popiteal ligament
Biceps Femoris
where do the long and short head insert?
Long head: action is to extend the thigh and flex the knee. it inserts on the lateral aspect of the fibula and arises from the ischial tuberosity
it is supplied by the sciatic N (tibial division

the short head DOES NOT CROSS HIP. Pure knee flexion. It inserts on the linea aspera (the bony part of the femur) and the fibular head

Long Head: tibial division of sciatic
Short head: fibular division of the sciatic
