Knee muscles and bones, artwork C016 / 7013
Knee muscles and bones. Artwork of an oblique lateral frontal view of the muscles and bones of a human knee. This view is of the outside of the left leg, with the iliotibial band (white) running down the outside of the thigh and attaching to Gerdys tubercle on the outside of the tibia (one of the lower leg bones). The femur (thigh bone) and patella (knee-cap) are visible below the muscles. Muscles, ligaments and tendons include the patellar ligament and the quadriceps femoris, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis obliquus thigh muscles (upper right). In the lower leg, the calf muscles are the gastrocnemius and the soleus (lower centre)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Knee muscles and bones" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate anatomy of the human knee. With an oblique lateral frontal view, it showcases the muscles and bones that make up this vital joint. The focus is on the outside of the left leg, where we can observe the iliotibial band gracefully running down the thigh and attaching to Gerdys tubercle on the tibia. The femur, our sturdy thigh bone, and patella or knee-cap are also visible below these muscular structures. Amongst them, we can identify several crucial components such as ligaments and tendons like the patellar ligament. In addition to this, prominent thigh muscles like quadriceps femoris, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis obliquus take their place in this artistic representation. Moving towards lower leg anatomy within this illustration reveals two significant calf muscles - gastrocnemius and soleus - positioned at its center. Against a white background that accentuates every detail with clarity, this artwork provides a comprehensive visual understanding of knee structure. With its emphasis on normal anatomical features associated with a healthy joint function, this print serves as an invaluable resource for biology enthusiasts or medical professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge about knees' complexity. Created by D & L GRAPHICS for Science Photo Library's collection of scientific illustrations; it stands as both visually stunning artistry and educational tool in one frame.
