- Abductor digiti minimi of footAbductor digiti minimi pedisAbductor digiti minimi of the foot is the superficial muscle along the outer edge of the sole, running from the heel to the little toe.
- Abductor hallucisAbductor hallucis is the superficial muscle along the inner edge of the sole, running from the heel to the big toe.
- Acetabular labrumLabrum acetabuliA ring of fibrocartilage fixed to the rim of the hip socket, deepening it and sealing the joint around the femoral head.
- Adductor brevisAdductor brevis is a short, triangular muscle of the inner thigh, lying behind pectineus and adductor longus and in front of adductor magnus.
- Adductor longusAdductor longus is the flat, fan-shaped muscle at the front of the inner thigh, running from the pubis to the middle of the femur.
- Adductor magnusAdductor magnus is the largest and deepest adductor of the thigh, a broad triangular muscle with an adductor part and a hamstring part.
- Anterior branch of obturator nerveRamus anterior nervi obturatoriiThe front division of the obturator nerve, running down the medial thigh between the adductors to supply them and the overlying skin.
- Anterior cruciate ligamentLigamentum cruciatum anteriusA strong intra-articular knee ligament running from the front of the tibial plateau up and back to the lateral femoral condyle.
- Anterior cutaneous branches of femoral nerveRami cutanei anteriores nervi femoralisSensory branches of the femoral nerve that supply the skin over the front and medial side of the thigh, down to the knee.
- Anterior ligament of fibular headLigamentum anterius capitis fibulaeFlat bands on the front of the upper tibiofibular joint, rising from the fibular head to the lateral tibial condyle.
- Anterior meniscotibial ligament (Lateral meniscus)Ligamentum meniscotibiale anterius (Meniscus lateralis)The fibrous root that anchors the front end of the lateral meniscus to the tibia, in the anterior intercondylar area of the knee.
- Anterior meniscotibial ligament (Medial meniscus)Ligamentum meniscotibiale anterius (Meniscus medialis)The fibrous root that anchors the front end of the medial meniscus to the anterior intercondylar area of the tibia.
- Anterior root of posterior femoral cutaneous nerveRadix anterior nervi cutanei femoris posteriorisThe contribution to the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve that comes from the anterior divisions of the second and third sacral nerves.
- Anterior tibial veinsVenae tibiales anterioresPaired deep veins of the front of the leg that run with the anterior tibial artery up to the popliteal fossa.
- Arcuate popliteal ligamentLigamentum popliteum arcuatumA Y-shaped band at the back and outer side of the knee, arching from the fibular head over the popliteus tendon.
- Articular capsule of hip jointCapsula articularis coxaeThe strong, thick fibrous sleeve of the hip joint, running from the rim of the acetabulum to the neck of the femur.
- Articular capsule of knee jointCapsula articularis genusThe fibrous and synovial envelope of the knee joint, enclosing the femur, tibia and patella and extending upwards into the suprapatellar bursa.
- Articular capsule of superior tibiofibular jointCapsula articularis articulationis tibiofibularisThe capsule of the small plane joint between the head of the fibula and the lateral condyle of the tibia, just below the knee.
- Common fibular nerveNervus fibularis communisThe lateral, smaller of the sciatic nerve's two end branches, curling round the fibular neck to serve the front and side of the leg.
- Common plantar digital branches of lateral plantar nerveRami digitales plantares communes nervi plantaris lateralisThe digital branches from the superficial branch of the lateral plantar nerve, serving the little toe and the fourth web space.
- Common plantar digital branches of medial plantar nerveRami digitales plantares communes nervi plantaris medialisThree digital nerves of the medial plantar nerve that run to the first three toe clefts and split for the facing toe surfaces.
- Deep femoral arteryArteria profunda femorisThe largest branch of the femoral artery, running deep in the thigh close to the femur and providing most of the thigh's blood.
- Deep femoral veinVena profunda femorisA large deep vein of the thigh that follows the deep femoral artery and empties into the femoral vein below the groin.
- Deep fibular nerveNervus fibularis profundusA terminal branch of the common fibular nerve that supplies the muscles of the anterior leg and the first web space of the foot.
