Leg muscles, artwork C013 / 4429
Leg muscles. Computer artwork of the bones and outer muscles of the left leg, seen from the front (anterior view) at an oblique angle looking downwards. Frontal thigh muscles include the sartorius and quadriceps. Muscles in the lower leg are the gastrocnemius and the soleus (in the calf, collectively known as the triceps surae) and the tibialis anterior (in the shin). At top left are the bones of the lower spine and the rest of the pelvis, as well as muscles reaching down from the lower spine to the femur, all helping to stabilise and control the complex movements of the hips and knees

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of leg muscles, providing a fascinating glimpse into the complexity of human anatomy. The artwork, titled C013 / 4429, presents a computer-generated illustration of the bones and outer muscles of the left leg from an anterior view at an oblique angle. From top left, we can observe the lower spine and pelvis bones alongside muscles that extend down to stabilize and control movements in the hips and knees. Moving towards the frontal thigh region, prominent muscles such as sartorius and quadriceps come into focus. As we descend further down to the lower leg, we encounter calf muscles known as gastrocnemius and soleus (collectively referred to as triceps surae), along with tibialis anterior in the shin area. The image also highlights various other anatomical structures including hip bone, knee joint, ankle joint, fibula, tibia femur (thigh bone), connective tissue, cartilage, tendons ligaments - all crucial components contributing to our musculoskeletal system's functionality. This visually striking composition not only emphasizes how these elements work harmoniously but also serves as a reminder of our body's incredible design. It is a testament to both scientific knowledge and artistic representation that allows us to appreciate our own physicality on a deeper level.
