Leg anatomy, artwork C013 / 4496
Leg anatomy. Computer artwork of an oblique anterior view looking up a human leg, showing muscles and tendons (brown and white), bones and ligaments (white), arteries and veins (red and blue), nerves (yellow), and lymph vessels (green). The leg articulates with the pelvis at the hip joint. The upper leg (thigh) articulates with the lower leg at the knee, and the lower leg articulates with the foot at the ankle. The main bones are the femur, tibia and fibula. The sole of the foot includes the plantar fascia (white), a supportive layer of fibrous connective tissue, as well as muscles and tendons that flex (bend) the toes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and complex anatomy of a human leg, providing a detailed view of its muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments, arteries, veins, nerves, and lymph vessels. The artwork presents an oblique anterior perspective that allows us to appreciate the leg's structure from an upward angle. The leg is a remarkable marvel of biological engineering as it articulates with the pelvis at the hip joint and connects the upper thigh to the lower leg at the knee. At the ankle joint, it seamlessly joins with the foot. The main bones highlighted in this image are the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shinbone), and fibula. Notably featured is also the sole of our foot which includes essential components such as plantar fascia - a supportive layer of fibrous connective tissue - along with muscles and tendons responsible for flexing or bending our toes. This illustration not only emphasizes anatomical accuracy but also provides insight into various bodily systems like circulation through arteries and veins depicted in red and blue respectively. Additionally, yellow highlights represent nerves while green signifies lymph vessels. Overall, this visually stunning artwork offers viewers an opportunity to explore both outer structures and inner workings of one of our most vital limbs – truly showcasing nature's brilliance in creating functional beauty within our bodies.
