The human leg, in the general word sense, is the entire lower limb 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.

The knee is proximal to the foot. Moving distally from the hip brings you to the thigh. The foot is distal to the knee.

What people call “the butt" is actually your gluteus maximus, a group of muscles that connect your thigh muscles to your back muscles so that you can walk and bend. It also provides padding and protection to the Iliac Crest, the large bone that holds your hip joint. So, technically, it's part of both.

The gluteus maximus muscle is responsible for movement of the hip and thigh. Standing up from a sitting position, climbing stairs, and staying in an erect position are all aided by the gluteus maximus.

In vertebrate anatomy, hip (or "coxa" in medical terminology) refers to either an anatomical region or a joint. The hip region is located lateral and anterior to the gluteal region, inferior to the iliac crest, and overlying the greater trochanter of the femur, or "thigh bone".

Nope. The notion of whether a thigh gap is good or bad is totally arbitrary. There's also nothing wrong with just about any of the things we choose to obsess over about our bodies.

Most guys, will like YOU just fine : thigh gap or not. A thigh gap is literally a gap in between your thighs. It's not bad, but you shouldn't stress over it if you don't have one.

The thighbone (femur) has a V-shaped notch (femoral groove) at one end to accommodate the moving kneecap. In a normal knee, the kneecap fits nicely in the groove. But if the groove is uneven or too shallow, the kneecap could slide off, resulting in a partial or complete dislocation.

Structural differences are caused by the legs themselves being measurably different in length, usually due to differences in the length of the femur in the thigh or the tibia and fibula bones in the lower leg.

Muscles in the Medial Compartment of the Thigh. The muscles in the medial compartment of the thigh are collectively known as the hip adductors. There are five muscles in this group; gracilis, obturator externus, adductor brevis, adductor longus and adductor magnus.

FMA. 22423. Anatomical terms of muscle. The tensor fasciae latae (or tensor fasciæ latæ or, formerly, tensor vaginae femoris) is a muscle of the thigh. Together with the gluteus maximus, it acts on the iliotibial band and is continuous with the iliotibial tract, which attaches to the tibia.

You may feel a pop, usually at the back of the thigh, when the muscle tears. Quadriceps strain. The quadriceps is a large group of muscles in the front of the thigh that straighten out the knee, the opposite action from the hamstrings. Quadriceps strain is a common injury in runners.

Anatomical terminology The femoral artery is a large artery in the thigh and the main arterial supply to the thigh and leg. It enters the thigh from behind the inguinal ligament as the continuation of the external iliac artery.

Connected to the hip bone, the thigh bone, also known as the femur, is the largest bone in the human body, and makes up one quarter of your height. The femur is very durable – it's almost as hard as concrete. Because it's so strong, it takes a lot of force to break the thigh bone.

"Thigh Highs" are a common term for thigh high stockings. They are a specific style of hosiery. Unlike full pantyhose, this style ends just about mid-thigh, instead of going all the way up to your waist. Exactly where a pair of thigh highs ends on your leg will depend on your height and inseam.

The 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.

The femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap) make up the bones of the knee. The knee joint keeps these bones in place. The patella is a small, triangle shaped bone that sits at the front of the knee, within the quadriceps muscle.
