The septa are formed from the fascia which is made up of a strong type of connective tissue. The fascia also separates the skeletal muscles from the subcutaneous tissue. [2] Due to the great pressure placed on the leg, from the column of blood from the heart to the feet, the fascia is very thick in order to support the leg muscles. [3]
Intermuscular septums of the leg may refer to: Anterior intermuscular septum of leg, or anterior crural intermuscular septum is a band of fascia which separates the lateral from the anterior compartment of leg; Deep transverse fascia, also known as transverse intermuscular septum of leg
The deep transverse fascia or transverse intermuscular septum of leg [1] is a transversely placed, intermuscular septum, from the deep fascia, between the superficial and deep muscles of the back of the leg. At the sides it is connected to the margins of the tibia and fibula.
The posterior intermuscular septum of leg or posterior crural intermuscular septum is a band of fascia which separates the lateral compartment of leg.. The deep fascia of leg gives off from its deep surface, on the lateral side of the leg, two strong intermuscular septa, the anterior and posterior peroneal septa, which enclose the peronæi longus and brevis, and separate them from the muscles ...

In humans and some other mammals, the soleus is a powerful muscle in the back part of the lower leg (the calf). It runs from just below the knee to the heel and is involved in standing and walking. It is closely connected to the gastrocnemius muscle , and some anatomists consider this combination to be a single muscle, the triceps surae .
Microsopic image of a fascial structure (Ligamentum nuchae).A fascia (/ ˈ f æ ʃ (i) ə /; pl.: fasciae / ˈ f æ ʃ i i / or fascias; [1] adjective fascial; from Latin band) is a generic term for macroscopic membranous bodily structures.
The linea aspera is a prominent longitudinal ridge or crest, on the middle third of the bone, presenting a medial and a lateral lip, and a narrow rough, intermediate line. It is an important insertion point for the adductors and the lateral and medial intermuscular septa that divides the thigh into three compartments. The tension generated by ...
