Muscles · Lower limbFlexor digitorum longusMusculus flexor digitorum longusFlexor digitorum longus is a deep calf muscle lying against the tibia whose tendons curl the four lesser toes.
Muscles · Lower limbFlexor hallucis longusFlexor longus hallucisFlexor hallucis longus is a strong deep calf muscle on the fibular side whose tendon bends the big toe and powers push-off.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbFrenula capsulaeLongitudinal folds of the reflected hip joint capsule and synovial membrane running along the neck of the femur towards the head.
Veins · Lower limbGenicular veinsVenae genicularesVeins around the knee that accompany the genicular arteries and drain the joint and its surroundings into the popliteal vein.
Nerves · Lower limbGenitofemoral nerveNervus genitofemoralisA lumbar plexus nerve that pierces psoas major and runs down its front to supply the cremaster, groin skin and upper front of the thigh.
Muscles · Lower limbGluteus maximus muscleMusculus gluteus maximusGluteus maximus is the large, thick muscle of the buttock that extends and laterally rotates the hip and steadies the pelvis.
Muscles · Lower limbGluteus medius muscleMusculus gluteus mediusGluteus medius is the broad, fan-shaped muscle on the outer side of the hip bone that holds the pelvis level when walking.
Muscles · Lower limbGluteus minimus muscleMusculus gluteus minimusGluteus minimus is the smallest and deepest gluteal muscle, a fan beneath gluteus medius running from the ilium to the greater trochanter.
Muscles · Lower limbGracilis muscleMusculus gracilisGracilis is the long, slender strap muscle running down the inner side of the thigh from the pubis to below the knee.
Muscles · Lower limbIliacus muscleMusculus iliacusIliacus is the flat, triangular muscle lining the iliac fossa inside the pelvis, joining psoas major to flex the hip.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbIliopectineal archArcus iliopectineusThe iliopectineal arch is a thickened band of iliac fascia under the inguinal ligament that divides the space into muscular and vascular compartments.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbIliotibial tractTractus iliotibialisThe iliotibial tract is the thick band of deep fascia running down the outer side of the thigh from the iliac crest to the tibia.
Muscles · Lower limbInferior gemellus muscleMusculus gemellus inferiorThe inferior gemellus is a small deep hip muscle that runs from the ischial tuberosity to the greater trochanter beside obturator internus.
Arteries · Lower limbInferior lateral genicular arteryArteria inferior lateralis genusA popliteal branch that runs laterally above the fibular head, deep to the fibular collateral ligament, to the front of the knee.
Arteries · Lower limbInferior medial genicular arteryArteria inferior medialis genusA branch of the popliteal artery that curves round below the medial tibial condyle to supply the inner side of the knee.
Nerves · Lower limbInfrapatellar branch of saphenous nerveRamus infrapatellaris nervi sapheniA cutaneous branch of the saphenous nerve that curves below the kneecap to supply the skin over the front of the knee.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbInfrapatellar fat padCorpus adiposum infrapatellareA wedge of fat in the front of the knee joint, lying behind and below the patella and the patellar ligament.
Nerves · Lower limbIntermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve of footNervus cutaneus intermedius dorsalis pedisThe lateral terminal branch of the superficial fibular nerve, supplying skin of the lateral dorsum of the foot and the third and fourth web spaces.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbInterosseous membrane of legMembrana interossea crurisA thin fibrous sheet joining the interosseous borders of the tibia and fibula and dividing the front of the leg from the back.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbIschiofemoral ligamentLigamentum ischiofemoraleA spiral band on the back of the hip joint capsule, running from the ischium to the femoral neck near the greater trochanter.
Arteries · Lower limbLateral circumflex femoral arteryArteria circumflexa lateralis femorisThe largest branch of the deep femoral artery, crossing laterally in front of the hip to supply the front and outer thigh.
Veins · Lower limbLateral circumflex femoral veinsVenae circumflexae femoris lateralesPaired veins in the upper front of the thigh that accompany the lateral circumflex femoral artery and drain the muscles around the hip.
Nerves · Lower limbLateral femoral cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus lateralis femorisA purely sensory lumbar plexus nerve that crosses iliacus and leaves the pelvis beside the iliac spine to supply skin of the outer thigh.
Muscles · Lower limbLateral head of flexor hallucis brevisCaput laterale flexoris brevis hallucisThis lateral head is the outer half of the big toe's short flexor, lying under the first metatarsal.
