As the exposure is continued around the proximal tibia, the
semimembranosus insertion is released.
The results showed that the adductor magnus, the
semimembranosus, and the long and short heads of the biceps femoris were the most frequently involved muscles across the three phenotypes, while the gracilis and sartorius were less involved.
The fat extraction for determination of the fatty acids profile in the
Semimembranosus muscle was performed according to methodology by Folch et al.
Twelve muscles (tibialis anterior, soleus, medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis,
semimembranosus, biceps femoris long head, adductor magnus, iliacus, and gluteus maximus) on the right leg of each subject were recorded, with symmetry being assumed for the other leg.
Their study considered hip flexor muscles and it was found that during cycling at a 100 watt work rate, there was a significant increase in muscle activity of the tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius medialis, rectus femoris, biceps femoris,
semimembranosus, and tensor fascia latae (Hug et al., 2013) when cycling with IC.
In order to study the optical properties or spectra of different tissues, two commercial meat cuts, namely, rump (Gluteous medius) and steak (Semitendinosus and
Semimembranosus), were analyzed with and without the presence of the skin.
Caption: FIGURE 1: Dissection of right posterior thigh and popliteal fossa to show tensor fasciae suralis muscle (TFS: tensor fasciae suralis muscle; TN: tibial nerve; Gmh: gastrocnemius muscle, medial head; Glh: gastrocnemius muscle, lateral head; AM: adductor magnus muscle; SM:
semimembranosus muscle; ST: semitendinosus muscle; BFlh: biceps femoris muscle, long head; BFsh: biceps femoris muscle, short head; VL: vastus lateralis muscle; ITB: iliotibial band).
After chilling (24 h at +4[degrees]C) from carcasses were isolated the loin (longissimus dorsi) and the total hind legs muscles (semitendinosus,
semimembranosus, gracilis and adductor, gluteobiceps, biceps femoris, quadriceps femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, rectus femoris, and tensor fasciae latae).
The biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and
semimembranosus muscles were carefully dissected to reveal the sciatic nerve and its branches.
Both cases presented with unilateral pyomyositis involving the thigh and
semimembranosus muscles, respectively, and occurred in immunocompetent patients [2, 3].
