Muscles · Lower limbQuadratus femoris muscleMusculus quadratus femorisA flat, oblong muscle at the back of the hip, running straight across from the ischial tuberosity to the intertrochanteric crest.
Muscles · Lower limbQuadratus plantae muscleMusculus quadratus plantaeA flat, two-headed muscle in the sole that runs from the heel bone to the tendon of flexor digitorum longus.
Muscles · Lower limbRectus femoris muscleMusculus rectus femorisRectus femoris is the straight, central part of the quadriceps group in the anterior thigh, crossing both the hip and the knee.
Nerves · Lower limbSaphenous nerveNervus saphenusThe longest sensory branch of the femoral nerve, running through the adductor canal and down the inner leg to the medial foot.
Muscles · Lower limbSartorius muscleMusculus sartoriusSartorius is the long, narrow, ribbon-like muscle that runs obliquely across the front of the thigh from hip to inner knee.
Nerves · Lower limbSciatic nerveNervus ischiadicusThe thickest nerve in the body, leaving the pelvis below piriformis and running down the back of the thigh to divide above the knee.
Muscles · Lower limbSemimembranosus muscleMusculus semimembranosusThe broad, deep medial hamstring, running from the ischial tuberosity to the back of the medial tibial condyle.
Muscles · Lower limbSemitendinosus muscleMusculus semitendinosusThe superficial medial hamstring, a spindle-shaped belly ending in a long cord-like tendon that joins the pes anserinus below the knee.
Muscles · Lower limbShort head of biceps femorisCaput breve musculi bicipitis femorisThe femoral head of biceps femoris, arising from the linea aspera and joining the long head to insert on the fibula.
Muscles · Lower limbSoleus muscleMusculus soleusSoleus is a broad, flat calf muscle lying deep to the gastrocnemius that flexes the ankle and keeps the body upright when standing.
Arteries · Lower limbSuperficial epigastric arteryArteria epigastrica superficialisA small branch of the femoral artery that turns up over the inguinal ligament to supply the skin of the lower abdomen.
Veins · Lower limbSuperficial epigastric veinVena epigastrica superficialisA superficial vein of the lower abdominal wall that runs down to the groin to join the great saphenous system.
Nerves · Lower limbSuperficial fibular nerveNervus fibularis superficialisA terminal branch of the common fibular nerve that supplies the fibular muscles and most of the skin on the top of the foot.
Joints and ligaments · Lower limbSuperficial part of tibial collateral ligamentPars superficialis ligamenti collateralis tibialisThe long, flat outer layer of the medial collateral ligament, running from the femoral epicondyle to the inner surface of the tibia.
Lymphatics · Lower limbSuperficial popliteal nodesNodi poplitei superficialesOne or a few small lymph nodes at the back of the knee, where the small saphenous vein ends in the popliteal vein.
Muscles · Lower limbSuperficial transverse metatarsal ligamentLigamentum metatarseum transversum superficialeA band of transverse fibres in the plantar aponeurosis that crosses beneath the metatarsal heads, near the bases of the toes.
Muscles · Lower limbSuperior gemellus muscleMusculus gemellus superiorA small muscle at the back of the hip, running from the ischial spine along the upper edge of the obturator internus tendon.
Nerves · Lower limbSuperior gluteal nerveNervus gluteus superiorA branch of the sacral plexus that leaves the pelvis above piriformis and supplies gluteus medius, gluteus minimus and tensor fasciae latae.
Arteries · Lower limbSuperior lateral genicular arteryArteria superior lateralis genusA branch of the popliteal artery that winds round the femur above the lateral condyle to the front of the knee.
Arteries · Lower limbSuperior medial genicular arteryArteria superior medialis genusA popliteal branch that winds round the inner side of the femur just above the knee to supply the joint.
Nerves · Lower limbSural communicating branch of common fibular nerveRamus communicans suralis nervi fibularis communisA cutaneous branch of the common fibular nerve that crosses the back of the calf to join the medial sural cutaneous nerve.
Nerves · Lower limbSural nerveNervus suralisA purely sensory nerve of the calf, formed from tibial and fibular branches, that supplies the skin of the lateral ankle and foot.
Skeleton · Lower limbTibiaThe shin bone, the larger and more medial of the two leg bones, carrying body weight from the knee to the ankle.
Nerves · Lower limbTibial nerveNervus tibialisThe bigger of the sciatic nerve's two end branches, running through the popliteal fossa and calf to divide behind the medial malleolus.
