Anatomy, Bony Pelvis and Lower Limb, Posterior Thigh Muscles

The muscles composing the posterior thigh compartment are collectively, and more commonly, known as the hamstring muscles. These three major muscles, consisting of the biceps femoris short and long head, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus play significant roles in everyday life as they participate in the complex movements of standing, walking, and running.
