Location of the Hamstring Muscle Photo Credit indykb/iStock/Getty Images. The hamstring muscles run along the back of your thigh, from your pelvis to your lower leg. There are three hamstrings: the semimembranosus, semitendinosus and biceps femoris.
The hamstring tendons make up the borders of the space behind the knee; the muscles are involved in knee flexion and hip extension.In quadrupeds, the hamstring is the single large tendon found behind the knee or comparable area.he three 'true' hamstrings cross both the hip and the knee joint and are therefore involved in knee flexion and hip extension. The short head of the biceps femoris crosses only one joint (knee) and is therefore not involved in hip extension.
