 Condyles of the Femur. 



M. biceps femoris arises by two heads : The long head, Caput lonyum, 

 from the Tuber ischii; this runs obliquely downwards and outwards to 

 the knee-joint ; the short head, Caput breve, from the external lip of the 

 Linea aspera femoris; it is inserted by a single tendon into the head of 

 the fibula. (Flexor of the leg.) 



M. semitendinosus arises from the Tuber iscliii in common with the 

 long head of the biceps, and is inserted by a long round tendon into 

 the inner surface of the tibia near the Spina tibiae. (Flexor of the leg.)
