Lower Limb
Skeleton (homologous with upper limb)
Muscles--anterior, posterior
compartments
Nerves--sciatic, femoral

Upper-Lower Limb Comparison
See Table M&M, Table 8.1

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
Frolich, Human Anatomy, Lower LImb
Homologous to metacarpals
Smaller, less nimble
Joints of Lower Limb
Hip (femur +
acetabulum)
Knee (femur + patella)
Plane
Gliding of patella
Synovial
Knee (femur + tibia)

Joints of Lower Limb
Proximal Tibia + Fibula
Distal Tibia + Fibula

Lower Limb Movements
Hip
Bending on posterior
side is flexion (except
hip)
Bending on anterior
sided is extension
(except hip)
Knee
Dorsiflexion/plantarflexion
Inversion/eversion
Toes

Piriformis syndrome
Hamstrings (sciatic n.)
Frolich, Human Anatomy, Lower LImb
Maximus—extensor of thigh
Medius--pelvic tilt
Biceps femoris
Semimembranous
Semitendinous
Anterior thigh (femoral n.)
Sartorius (Tailor’s
muscle)
Quads (four)
Rectus femoris
(crosses hip)
3 vastus mm.
(vast--big)
Frolich, Human Anatomy, Lower LImb
Medial compartment (obturator n.)
Adductor muscles
Gracilis
Adductor
• Magnus
• Longus
• brevis
Frolich, Human Anatomy, Lower LImb
Leg movements by
compartment (in leg all nn are branches of sciatic)
Frolich, Human Anatomy, Lower LImb
Anterior Leg (deep fibular n.)
Fibularis (peroneus)
longus
Extensor digitorum
longus
Extensor hallicus
longus
Tibialis anteriorus

Posterior Leg (tibial n.)
Frolich, Human Anatomy, Lower LImb
Gastrocs and soleus
Flexor digitorum
longus
Flexor hallucus
longus
Intrinsics of foot

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
Frolich, Human Anatomy, Lower LImb
Blood
supply to
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
Frolich, Human Anatomy, Lower LImb
Surface Anatomy:
Posterior Pelvis
Iliac crest
Gluteus maximus = cheeks
Natal/gluteal cleft = crack
Gluteal folds = bottom of cheek
