Semitendinosus is a long, strap-like hamstring muscle located at the back of the thigh, one of the three semitendinosus-like muscles. It originates on the ischial tuberosity and inserts on the upper tibia via the pes anserinus, functioning primarily to extend the hip and flex the knee. In anatomy contexts, it is treated as a noun referring to this specific muscle.
