Tibia/fibula
Tibia--big toe side
 Fibula--little toe side
(no pronation/supination)

Frolich, Human Anatomy, Lower LImb
Ankle


Tarsus--forms ankle
joint
Calcaneus--forms
heel
Frolich, Human Anatomy, Lower LImb
Foot

Function:



Support weight
Act as lever when walking
Tarsals

Talus = ankle
• Between tibia + fibula
• Articulates w/both

Calcaneus = heel
• Attachment for Calcaneal
tendon
• Carries talus

Metatarsals


Phalanges

Gracilis
Adductor
• Magnus
• Longus
• brevis


With leg out to
side like
quadruped,
lumbar-anterior,
sacral-posterior
makes sense

Lumbar plexus
(femoral nerve)
Frolich, Human Anatomy, Lower LImb
Sacral plexus
(sciatic nerve)
Dermatomes show twisting of
leg in development

lower limb

Internal Iliac




Cranial + Caudal Gluteals= gluteals
Internal Pudendal = perineum, external
genitalia
Obturator = adductor muscles
External Iliac

Femoral = lower limb
• Deep femoral = adductors, hamstrings,
quadriceps

Popliteal (continuation of femoral)
• Geniculars = knee
• Anterior Tibial = ant. leg muscles, further
branches to feet
• Posterior Tibial = flexor muscles, plantar
arch, branches to toes
