they must be inserted into either tibia or fibula.
they must not have any attachment to the femur.
they must be supplied by the tibial part of the sciatic nerve.
they must acts as extensor of the hip joint and flexor of the knee joint.
with the above qualifications, the following muscles are considered as the hamstring muscles:
semimembranosus.semitendinosus.both are (extensors of hip & flexors & medial rotators of knee joint). long head of biceps femoristhe Biceps Femoris, Semitendinosus and Semimembranosus.
The hamstring muscles are made up of the three posterior thigh muscles. These are the biceps femoris, the semimembranosus, and the semitendinosus.
Semimembranosus
Semitendinosis
Biceps femoris

No, the hamstring is posterior to the quadriceps.
The semitendinosus, semimembranosus and biceps femoris all form the muscles in the back of the thigh called the hamstrings.
biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus
The thigh has 3 groups of muscles:Adductor - inner thigh, including the adductor magnus, adductor longus, adductor brevis, and gracilis.Flexor - back of the thigh, including the hamstring muscles, which include semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and biceps femorisExtensor - front of the thigh, including the pectineus, sartorius, and the four muscles that comprise the quadriceps muscles (rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius and vastus lateralis)
you can divide your thigh in to 2 parts with front portion being called quadriceps(includes muscles called vastus intermedius,vastus lateralis,vastus medialis,rectus femoris) and back portion called hamstring(includes muscles called semitendinosus,semimembranosus,bicep femoris)
A fascicle is a group of muscle fibers bundled together and working as a unit. They are enveloped by a structure called the perimysium.
you find muscle pairs in your legs... like you hamstrings or quadriceps.
Hamstring
The muscles in the face are called facial muscles. They are responsible for controlling facial expressions, helping with speech and eating, and also play a role in communicating emotions. Some examples of facial muscles include the frontalis, orbicularis oculi, and zygomaticus.
