The human leg, in the general meaning, is the entire lower limb12 of the human body, including the foot, thigh and even the hip or gluteal region. However, the definition in human anatomy refers only to the section of the lower limb extending from the knee to the ankle, also known as the crus. Legs are used for standing, and all forms of locomotion including recreational such as dancing, and constitute a significant portion of a persons mass. Female legs generally have greater hip anteversion and tibiofemoral angles, but shorter femur and tibial lengths than those in males. StructureeditIn human anatomy, the lower leg is the part of the lower limb that lies between the knee and the ankle. Paint Tool Sai Mac With Pen Pressure Not Working. The thigh is between the hip and knee and makes up the rest of the lower limb. The term lower limb or lower extremity is commonly used to describe all of the leg. This article generally follows the common usage. Publication Date January 2005 345 pp, 593 illustrations hardcover, DVDROM ISBN Americas 9781588902658 ISBN EUR, Asia, Africa, AUS 9783131276117. The leg from the knee to the ankle is called the crus or cnemis. The calf is the back portion, and the tibia or shinbone together with the smaller fibula make up the front of the lower leg.

Evolution has provided the human body with two distinct features the specialization of the upper limb for visually guided manipulation and the lower limbs development into a mechanism specifically adapted for efficient bipedalgait. Atlas Thieme' title='Atlas Thieme' />While the capacity to walk upright is not unique to humans, other primates can only achieve this for short periods and at a great expenditure of energy. The human adaption to bipedalism is not limited to the leg, however, but has also affected the location of the bodys center of gravity, the reorganisation of internal organs, and the form and biomechanism of the trunk. In humans, the double S shaped vertebral column acts as a shock absorber which shifts the weight from the trunk over the load bearing surface of the feet. The human legs are exceptionally long and powerful as a result of their exclusive specialization to support and locomotion  in orangutans the leg length is 1. Many of the legs muscles are also adapted to bipedalism, most substantially the gluteal muscles, the extensors of the knee joint, and the calf muscles. SkeletoneditThe major bones of the leg are the femur thigh bone, tibia shin bone, and adjacent fibula, and these are all long bones. The patella kneecap is the sesamoid bone in front of the knee. Most of the leg skeleton has bony prominences and margins that can be palpated and some serve as anatomical landmarks that define the extent of the leg. These landmarks are the anterior superior iliac spine, the greater trochanter, the superior margin of the medial condyle of tibia, and the medial malleolus. Notable exceptions to palpation are the hip joint, and the neck and body, or shaft of the femur. Usually, the large joints of the lower limb are aligned in a straight line, which represents the mechanical longitudinal axis of the leg, the Mikulicz line. This line stretches from the hip joint or more precisely the head of the femur, through the knee joint the intercondylar eminence of the tibia, and down to the center of the ankle the ankle mortise, the fork like grip between the medial and lateral malleoli. In the tibial shaft, the mechanical and anatomical axes coincide, but in the femoral shaft they diverge 6, resulting in the femorotibial angle of 1. A leg is considered straight when, with the feet brought together, both the medial malleoli of the ankle and the medial condyles of the knee are touching. Divergence from the normal femorotibial angle is called genu varum if the center of the knee joint is lateral to the mechanical axis intermalleolar distance exceeds 3 cm, and genu valgum if it is medial to the mechanical axis intercondylar distance exceeds 5 cm. These conditions impose unbalanced loads on the joints and stretching of either the thighs adductors and abductors. The angle of inclination formed between the neck and shaft of the femur, collodiaphysial angle, varies with ageabout 1. Pathological changes in this angle results in abnormal posture of the leg A small angle produces coxa vara and a large angle in coxa valga the latter is usually combined with genu varum and coxa vara leads genu valgum. Additionally, a line drawn through the femoral neck superimposed on a line drawn through the femoral condyles forms an angle, the torsion angle, which makes it possible for flexion movements of the hip joint to be transposed into rotary movements of the femoral head. Abnormally increased torsion angles results in a limb turned inward and a decreased angle in a limb turned outward both cases resulting in a reduced range of a persons mobility.

Also act on knee joint. There are several ways of classifying the muscles of the hip 1 By location or innervation ventral and dorsal divisions of the plexus layer 2 by development on the basis of their points of insertion a posterior group in two layers and an anterior group and 3 by function i. Some hip muscles also act on either the knee joint or on vertebral joints. Additionally, because the area of origin and insertion of many of these muscles are very extensive, these muscles are often involved in several very different movements. In the hip joint, lateral and medial rotation occur along the axis of the limb extension also called dorsiflexion or retroversion and flexion anteflexion or anteversion occur along a transverse axis and abduction and adduction occur about a sagittal axis. The anterior dorsal hip muscles are the iliopsoas, a group of two or three muscles with a shared insertion on the lesser trochanter of the femur. The psoas major originates from the last vertebra and along the lumbar spine to stretch down into the pelvis. The iliacus originates on the iliac fossa on the interior side of the pelvis. The two muscles unite to form the iliopsoas muscle which is inserted on the lesser trochanter of the femur. The psoas minor, only present in about 5. The posterior dorsal hip muscles are inserted on or directly below the greater trochanter of the femur.
