Leg anatomy, artwork C013 / 4497
Leg anatomy. Computer artwork of an oblique posterior 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. Created with meticulous detail, this computer artwork provides a unique perspective from an oblique posterior view, allowing us to explore the leg's inner workings. In this illustration, we can observe various components that make up the leg structure. The muscles and tendons are depicted in shades of brown and white, highlighting their role in movement and support. White lines represent bones and ligaments while red and blue symbolize arteries and veins respectively, emphasizing the vital circulatory system within our legs. The yellow network represents nerves responsible for transmitting signals throughout our body, ensuring proper functionality. Additionally, green vessels signify lymphatic vessels that play a crucial role in immune response. Notable joints such as the hip joint connecting the leg to the pelvis, knee joint between upper and lower legs, as well as ankle articulation with the foot are clearly illustrated. Key bones like femur (thigh bone), tibia (shinbone), fibula (calf bone), calcaneus (heel bone), phalanges (toe bones) are also highlighted. Overall, this image offers an insightful glimpse into both external musculature and internal structures of our lower limbs. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are to facilitate movement while maintaining stability—a testament to nature's brilliance captured through artistry.
