The semitendinosis and the semimembranosis as well as the long head and short head of the biceps femoris muscles.

Explanation:

These are all found in the posterior thigh and are innervated by the tibial division of the sciatic nerve, except for the short head of the biceps femoris which is innervated by the peroneal division of the sciatic nerve. This is important because it is the only muscle innervated by the peroneal division above the knee.
