Lower limb muscles
Product code: HP0601
-
Single Side Left or right side of a region / system / organ.
The lower limb supports the weight of the body, permits locomotion, and helps absorb shock forces. It is designed for stability and weightbearing, in preference to range of motion, and can support and balance the body while accommodating a wide range of terrain. Being able to visualise the attachments of a muscle and the joint type(s) it crosses helps to explain its actions and testing, and the consequence of a loss of function. This Silicone Plastinate provides unobstructed views of the muscles and tendons of the pelvis, inferior part of the abdominal wall and lower limb, and their layered arrangement. To enhance clarity, most fasciae and neurovasculature have been removed.

Key features include
General
- Half pelvis and lower limb.
- Most neurovasculature removed to provide clear views of underlying/nearby structures.
Muscles and regions - pelvis
- Transverse section of the vertebral column and abdominal wall at the level of the inferior lumbar vertebrae.
- Median sagittal section through the pelvis, vertebral column, and inferior part of anterolateral abdominal wall.
- Part of the cauda equina with its meningeal coverings in the vertebral canal.
- Cross (transverse) sectional view of various epaxial muscles of the back.
- Muscles of the inferior part of the anterolateral abdominal wall, and their layered arrangement.
- Position and structure of the inguinal canal and inguinal rings.
- Muscles of the lower limb originating from the pelvis and vertebral column (e.g., iliopsoas).
- Position, borders and muscular contents of the greater and lesser sciatic foramina.
Muscles and regions - lower limb
- Gluteus maximus reflected to reveal deeper muscles of the gluteal region.
- Muscles of the thigh, leg and foot shown mainly in the anatomical position.
- Various muscles are lifted, reflected, or partially removed to reveal underlying structures and regions, and the layered arrangements of muscles.
- Flexor and extensor retinaculae of the ankle in-situ.
- Attachments and position of the iliotibial tract and its associated muscles.
- Femoral canal, femoral sheath, and fascial plane location of the femoral nerve.
- Boundaries and contents (not neurovascular) of key regions, including the femoral triangle, obturator canal, adductor canal, popliteal fossa, and tarsal tunnel.
- Capsule of the knee joint (including the patella retinaculae) and ankle joint.
- Extensor expansions of the foot.
- Plantar aponeurosis lifted and reflected to reveal the muscles of the foot and the position and course of the long flexor tendons.
Neurovasculature
- Neurovascular structures removed to provide clear views of muscles.
Possible variants or pathology (not guaranteed)
