Muscles of the Posterior Thigh Diagram

This Muscles of the Posterior Thigh diagram showcases the hamstring group—biceps femoris (long and short heads), semitendinosus, and semimembranosus—originating from the ischial tuberosity (except short head from femur) and inserting below the knee. It illustrates knee flexion and hip extension roles plus sciatic nerve relations. Great for sports injuries or posterior thigh strains.
