Leg anatomy. Computer artwork of an oblique anterior view looking down 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 arteries and veins arise from large blood vessels in the groin,also the location of several lymph nodes (round,green),and the nerves from the spinal cord |
