Protein nitration with aging in the rat semimembranosus and soleus muscles.
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.
However, because the semimembranosus is wider and flatter than the semitendinosus, it is still possible to palpate the semimembranosus directly.
The semimembranosus is named for the flat shape of its superior attachment.
The hamstring muscle group is made up of the biceps femoris, semitendinosis and semimembranosus.
Posterior compartment muscles of the thigh are the hamstring muscles, which include semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and biceps femoris.
