Figure 12.

Anatomical view of the posterior and right side of the hip. The gluteus maximus muscle, the long head of the biceps femoris and the semitendinosus has been removed to observe the tendon of the semimembranosus muscle (SMB). It has a rounder shape at the more superior and lateral part (white arrow), which distally became thinner, and a thin membrane medially (black *) that originates at the lateral side of the ischial tuberosity (IT). AM: Adductor maximus muscles. The sciatic nerve (SN) at the lateral side has a close relationship with the SMB.
