• 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.

• Functionally, the semimembranosus is similar to the semitendinosus, and thus produces extension at the hip joint and flexion and medial rotation at the knee.

• This attachment is exposed by making a small incision parallel to the fibers along the posterior edge of the anterior arm of the semimembranosus tendon.

• The hamstring muscle group is made up of the biceps femoris, semitendinosis and semimembranosus.
