Please help label the following

Biceps femoris This muscle occupies the most lat-

heads: one long, and the other short. The long head,
which obscures the short one, arises on the ischial
tuberosity. The short head originates on the linea
aspera of the femur. Insertion of the muscle is on
the head of the fibula and the lateral condyle of the
tibia.

Step 1

A muscular strain (also known as a muscle tear or rupture) is a common injury, especially among athletes. The hamstring muscles are located at the rear of the leg, the quadriceps muscles are located in the front, and the adductor muscles are located on the inside. To straighten (stretch) and bend (bend) the leg, the quadriceps and hamstrings act together. The adductor muscles are also the muscles that draw the legs closer. These muscles all together help in movement.
