Muscles · Lower limbLateral head of gastrocnemiusCaput laterale musculi gastrocnemiiThe lateral head of gastrocnemius is the outer of the calf muscle's two heads, arising from the lateral femoral condyle above the knee.
Cartilage · Lower limbLateral meniscusMeniscus lateralisA nearly circular band of fibrocartilage on the outer side of the knee, lying between the lateral condyles of the femur and tibia.
Nerves · Lower limbLateral plantar nerveNervus plantaris lateralisThe smaller terminal branch of the tibial nerve, crossing the sole to supply most deep foot muscles and the lateral one and a half toes.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbLigament of head of femurLigamentum capitis femorisA flattened band inside the hip joint, running from the pit on the femoral head to the edges of the acetabular notch.
Muscles · Lower limbLong head of biceps femorisCaput longum musculi bicipitis femorisThe long head of biceps femoris is the lateral hamstring belly, running from the ischial tuberosity down the back of the thigh to the fibula.
Muscles · Lower limbLumbrical muscles of footMusculi lumbricales pedisThe lumbricals of the foot are four slender muscles in the sole that arise from the long flexor tendons and reach the lesser toes.
Arteries · Lower limbMedial circumflex femoral arteryArteria circumflexa medialis femorisA branch of the deep femoral artery that winds behind the femoral neck and gives the main blood supply of the femoral head.
Veins · Lower limbMedial circumflex femoral veinsVenae circumflexae medialesPaired deep veins of the upper thigh that travel with the medial circumflex femoral artery around the back of the femur.
Nerves · Lower limbMedial crural cutaneous branches of saphenous nerveRami cutanei cruris mediales nervi sapheniBranches of the saphenous nerve that supply the skin of the medial side of the leg, from the knee down to the ankle.
Nerves · Lower limbMedial dorsal cutaneous nerve of footNervus cutaneus medialis dorsalis pedisThe medial terminal branch of the superficial fibular nerve, supplying skin on the inner dorsum, the great toe and the second web space.
Muscles · Lower limbMedial head of flexor hallucis brevisCaput mediale flexoris brevis hallucisThis inner belly is one half of the short flexor of the great toe, lying under the first metatarsal.
Muscles · Lower limbMedial head of gastrocnemiusCaput mediale musculi gastrocnemiiThe inner of the two calf heads, arising from the femur above the medial condyle and joining the Achilles tendon at the heel.
Cartilage · Lower limbMedial meniscusMeniscus medialisA crescent of fibrocartilage on the inner side of the knee, between the medial condyles of the femur and tibia.
Nerves · Lower limbMedial plantar nerveNervus plantaris medialisThe bigger end branch of the tibial nerve, supplying the inner sole, a few short foot muscles and the medial three and a half toes.
Nerves · Lower limbMedial sural cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus medialis suraeA cutaneous branch of the tibial nerve that descends between the heads of gastrocnemius and joins a fibular branch to form the sural nerve.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbMeniscopatellar ligamentLigamentum meniscopatellareA thin capsular band at the front of the knee running from the side of the patella to the front edge of the meniscus below it.
Arteries · Lower limbMiddle genicular arteryA small single branch of the popliteal artery that pierces the back of the knee capsule to supply the cruciate ligaments.
Nerves · Lower limbMuscular branches of deep fibular nerveRami musculares nervi fibularis profundiThe motor twigs of the deep fibular nerve to the extensor muscles of the anterior leg and the short extensors on the foot.
Nerves · Lower limbNerve to piriformis muscleNervus musculi piriformisA short branch of the sacral plexus that enters piriformis from its pelvic surface, usually carrying fibres of the first and second sacral nerves.
Nerves · Lower limbNerve to quadratus femoris muscleNervus musculi quadrati femorisA branch of the sacral plexus that supplies quadratus femoris and inferior gemellus and sends a twig to the hip joint.
Muscles · Lower limbOblique head of adductor hallucisCaput obliquum adductoris hallucisThe larger, deeper head of adductor hallucis, slanting across the sole from the middle metatarsal bases to the great toe.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbOblique popliteal ligamentLigamentum popliteum obliquumA broad, flat band crossing the back of the knee capsule, formed as an expansion of the semimembranosus tendon.
Muscles · Lower limbObturator externusA flat, fan-shaped muscle covering the outside of the obturator membrane and running behind the femoral neck to the trochanteric fossa.
Muscles · Lower limbObturator internusA fan-shaped muscle lining the side wall of the lesser pelvis, whose tendon turns out through the lesser sciatic foramen to the greater trochanter.
