    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_the_Arm

    The arm is divided by a fascial layer (known as lateral and medial intermuscular septa) separating the muscles into two osteofascial compartments: the anterior and the posterior compartments of the arm. The fascia merges with the periosteum (outer bone layer) of the humerus. [8]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibia

    The tibia (/ ˈ t ɪ b i ə /; pl.: tibiae / ˈ t ɪ b i i / or tibias), also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger, stronger, and anterior (frontal) of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates (the other being the fibula, behind and to the outside of the tibia); it connects the knee with the ankle.

    English: The humerus is the (upper) arm bone. It joins with the scapula above at the shoulder joint (or glenohumeral joint) and with the ulna and radius below at the elbow joint. Notice: When the arm is spun so that the thumb point to the outside of the body, meaning the palm of the hand looks forward then it is said the hand is supinated. But ...

  5. Tuberosity of the tibia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberosity_of_the_tibia

    The tibial tuberosity thus forms the terminal part of the large structure that acts as a lever to extend the knee-joint and prevents the knee from collapsing when the foot strikes the ground. [1] The two ligaments, the patella, and the tibial tuberosity are all superficial, easily palpable structures.

  6. Tibialis anterior muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibialis_anterior_muscle

    The tibialis anterior muscle arises from the upper 2/3 of the lateral surface of the tibia and [3] [better source needed] the adjoining part of the interosseous membrane and deep fascia overlying it, [2] and the intermuscular septum between this muscle and the extensor digitorum longus. [citation needed]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soleal_line

    The soleal line marks the lower limit of the insertion of the popliteus muscle. [2] It is the attachment of the fascia covering this muscle. It is the origin of part of soleus muscle (along with a triangular area above it), [ 3 ] flexor digitorum longus muscle , and tibialis posterior muscle .

  9. Pes anserinus (leg) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pes_anserinus_(leg)

    The three tendons, from front to back, that conjoin to form the pes anserinus come from the sartorius muscle, the gracilis muscle, and the semitendinosus muscle. [1] [2] It inserts onto the proximal anteromedial surface of the tibia. [2] The pes anserinus is around 5 cm below the medial tibial joint line. [2]
