What else can I help you with?
Select the correct list of the muscles that comprise the hamstrings group.?
Biceps femoris (lateral); semimembranosus (medial-ish), semitendinosus (medial).
The groups of muscles collectively called the hamstring muscles include the?
the hamstring muscles must have these features:they must originate from the ischial tuberosity. 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 femoris
What posterior thigh muscle is most superficial?
The Hamstrings are the muscles of the posterior thigh that flex the knee.The Hamstring Group consists of the semimembranosus, semitendonosus, and long head of the biceps femoris. The short head of the biceps femoris contributes to flexion of the knee but is not considered part of the Hamstring group due to its separate innervation. The tensor fascia lata also contributes to flexion when the knee is already partly flexed, but the TFL is on the lateral side of the thigh.The Gastrocnemius also aids in weak knee flexion since it originates on the medial and lateral epicondyles of the femur.
What are 2 muscles in your back leg?
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
What calf muscle crosses two joints?
Biceps Brachii crosses both the Glenohumeral and Trochleoginglymoid joints. Sartorius crosses both the hip joint and knee. Others include tensor fascia lata, rectus femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus, biceps femoris, flexors of the forearm cross multiple joints as do the extensors. There are many others.
The semimembranosus and semitendinosus attach on what side of the knee?
The semimembranosus and semitendinosus muscles attach on the medial (inner) side of the knee.
How can you distinguish between the semitendinosus muscle and the semimembranosus muscle?
The semimembranosus is more medial.
What is the agonist muscle in hip flexion?
Rectus femoris+ anterior thigh; quadriceps+ extension of leg at knee Vastus lateralis+ lateral anterior thigh; quadriceps+ extension of leg at knee Vastus Medialis+ medial anterior thigh; quadriceps+ extension of leg at knee Vastus intermedius+ deep anterior thigh; quadriceps+ extension of leg at knee Sartorius (*) parallel strap-like muscle that crosses thigh flexion of knee forward Biceps femoris* posterior thigh; hamstring* flexion of leg at knee Semitendinosus* posterior thigh; hamstring* flexion of leg at knee Semimembranosus* posterior thigh; hamstring* flexion of leg at knee
What is the primary muscle for hip internal rotation?
There are no prime Internal Rotators. However, there are several secondary movers including the anterior fibers of the gluteus medius and minimus, the adductor longus and brevis, the pectineus, the medial hamstrings (semitendonosus and semimembranosus) and the tensor fascia latae.
Are the thoracic vertebrae medial or lateral to the scapula?
You can describe them as medial to the scapula.
What is the opposite of medial?
The opposite of medial is lateral. Medial refers to a location closer to the midline of the body, while lateral refers to a position further away from the midline.
Where is the eye in relation to the ear lateral or medial?
The shoulders are lateral and inferior to the eyes. The eyes are superior and medial to the shoulders.
