The semitendinosus is one of the hamstring muscles. It arises or starts from the ischial tuberosity(the bone you sit on) and inserts or connects by a long tendon to tibia (lower leg bone) just below the medial (inside) side of the knee. Interestingly, the tendon of the semitendosus is joined by the tendons of the sartoris and gracilis muscles
