Percentage drip loss was significantly increased in the longissimus dorsi, semimembranosus and semitendinosus in the genetic line selected for lean growth efficiency over the control line.
Adipose derived stem cells were injected directly into the tear of the semitendinosus muscle.
The pes anserinus is made up from the tendons of the gracilis, semitendinosus, and sartorius muscles; these tendons attach onto the anteromedial proximal tibia.
The semitendinosus tendon can be used in certain techniques for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament.
The muscles are the sartorius, gracilis and semitendinosus.
Functionally, the semimembranosus is similar to the semitendinosus, and thus produces extension at the hip joint and flexion and medial rotation at the knee.
Of the thigh muscles, semitendinosus is especially involved in hip adduction.
However, because the semimembranosus is wider and flatter than the semitendinosus, it is still possible to palpate the semimembranosus directly.
