A useful mnemonic to remember popliteal fossa anatomy (medial-to-lateral arrangement) is:

Serve And Volley Next Ball

Mnemonic

S: s emimembranosus and semitendinosus (superomedial border)
A: artery (popliteal artery)
V: vein (popliteal vein)
N: nerve (tibial nerve)
B: biceps femoris (superolateral border)

The lateral and medial heads of the gastrocnemius muscle form the inferolateral and inferomedial border respectively.
