Semitendinosus and Semimembranosus are the most caudal and deep muscles

Semitendinosus: Origin- ischiatic tuberosity; insertion medial surface of the body of the tibia and tuber calcanei (and crural fascia); innervation - sciatic nerve

Semimembranosus: Origin- ISchiatic tuberosity; Insertion- distal medial lip of the caudal rough surface of the femur, and proximal end of the tibia; innervation- sciatic nerve

The biceps femoris is the most lateral, and the adductor is the larges medial muscle
