knee flexion and hip extension.
Biceps femoris also: knee external rotation and hip external rotation.
Semi tendinosus and Semi membranosus also: knee internal rotation and hip internal rotation.
hamstrings eccentric contraction causes knee extension and hip flexion, whilst the antagonist muscles are passive.

What is the pathway used to innervate a pinky finger?
If you want to move your pinky finger - specifically, to abduct the digiti minimi, first the brain decides to move it. It sends a signal (an action potential) to the alpha motor neuron (that goes down the spinal cord to the ulnar nerve, all the way to the muscle in the finger). The action potential in the neuron causes an action potential in the muscle, which, by excitation-contraction coupling, causes the contraction of the muscle, and thus the movement of the finger.
