What Are the Hamstring Muscles? The hamstring muscles are a group of three muscles located on the back of your thigh. The three muscles are called the biceps femoris, the semimembranosus, and the semitendinosus. These three muscles work together to help bend your knee.
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.
