The playlist is useful as an introduction or a revision to the anatomy of the lower limb. It provides highlights of the structural components of the lower limb including bones, joints, muscles, nerves and vessels and how these components are organized in order to better serve the function of the lower limb.

Presented and edited by Dr.Akram Jaffar (PhD).

This video and its channel are supported by "Human Anatomy Education" page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/AnatomyEducation

After watching the whole playlist it is expected that you will be able to outline the following topics related to the lower limb:
Connection with the axial skeleton
Boundaries
Parts
Important areas of transition: femoral triangle, popliteal fossa, and tarsal tunnel
Embryology
Function: postural support and locomotion
Component parts:
Bones and joints: stability and movements at the hip, knee and ankle joints
Arches of the foot
Muscles with functional examples: muscle compartments of the thigh, muscle compartments of the leg, and muscles of the foot
Nerves: general pattern of innervation; the concept of dermatomes and cutaneous nerves: motor nerves
Vessels: arterial pulsations
Superficial veins and the anatomical basis of varicose veins
