Thigh hamstring muscles, artwork C013 / 4428
Thigh hamstring muscles. Computer artwork of a posterior view of two of the three hamstring muscles (red) of the thighs. The muscles are the semimembranosus (inner) and semitendinosus (outer) muscles. They attach to the bones of the pelvis (top) and the tibia of the lower leg (bottom), forming part of the posterior compartment of the thigh. These muscles are used to flex the knee and straighten the hip. On the right leg, the semitendinosus muscle is see-through, revealing the semimembranosus muscle behind it. The third hamstring muscle, the biceps femoris, is not shown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the thigh hamstring muscles, offering a glimpse into the complexity and beauty of human anatomy. The computer artwork presents a posterior view of two out of three hamstring muscles, namely the semimembranosus and semitendinosus muscles. These powerful muscles play a crucial role in flexing the knee and straightening the hip. In this image, we observe how these red-colored muscles attach to both ends - the pelvis at their origin and the tibia at their insertion point. This connection forms part of the posterior compartment of the thigh, contributing to its musculature. Interestingly, on one side, we can see through to reveal another muscle behind it - highlighting its layered composition. The male skeleton serves as an excellent canvas for this illustration, emphasizing not only bone structure but also demonstrating how different components work together within our bodies. From behind, we witness how these hamstrings interact with other anatomical features such as joints like knees and hips. With every detail meticulously depicted – from connective tissues to ligaments – this artwork provides valuable insights into our musculoskeletal system's functionality. It is a testament to both scientific knowledge and artistic representation that allows us to appreciate our body's remarkable design while deepening our understanding of biology.
