Anatomically, the term "leg" refers specifically to the part of the lower limb between the knee and the ankle. It comprises two main bones: the tibia and fibula. The leg supports weight during standing and movement and contains muscles, nerves, and blood vessels crucial for mobility. In a broader context, "leg" can sometimes refer to the entire lower limb, including the thigh and foot, but in strict anatomical terms, it is confined to the area between the knee and ankle.
The anatomical differences between a squid and an octopus are obvious.
None. Arachnids by definition have 8 legs. This is some other type of insect.
His right leg was the stiff leg
Pulling your leg usually means someone is messing with you or lying to you OR he is actually pulling your leg
To rest the other leg.
The anatomical term for the calf area of the leg is the "gastrocnemius muscle."
anatomical homologies
In an anatomical manner; by means of dissection.
In anatomical terms, the lower leg is referred to simply as the "leg." The two bones of the lower leg are the tibia and fibula.
Anatomical (adj): of or relating to the structure of the body. ergo: A body's right side.
Yes, in the anatomical position, the fibula is located on the lateral side of the lower leg. It runs parallel to the tibia, which is the medial bone of the lower leg. The fibula is thinner and primarily serves to provide stability to the ankle and support to the muscles of the lower leg.
tibula and not so sure about the other part
In medical and anatomical terms, "leg" refers to the portion of the lower limb between the knee and ankle.
The specific anatomical term for the muscle located at the back of the lower leg in humans, commonly known as the calf, is the gastrocnemius muscle.
The canals running down a pig leg can be observed in the anatomical structures of the pig, specifically within the bones and soft tissues of the leg. These canals include blood vessels and nerves that run through the leg, facilitating circulation and innervation. In culinary contexts, when butchering a pig leg, these structures may be seen in the cross-section of the leg. Additionally, studying the leg in a veterinary or anatomical context would reveal these canals in detail.

In anatomical position, the feet are distal (farther from the center of the body) to the knees.
