Lower Limb Muscles: Origins, Insertions and Innervations. Summary of Joints.

Heres the summary of the lower limb muscles (origins, insertions and innervation) and joints (including pelvic girdle, knee and ankle joints)

Here's an excerpt:


"The Inguinal (Poupart) ligament: is formed by the inferior border of the aponeurosis of the
external abdominal oblique muscle. It extends from the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine to the
Pubic tubercle.
It has a medial point of attachment that spreads out as a broad surface known as Lacunar
ligament (Gimbernat ligament).
Laterally passing from this ligament along the Pectineal line of pubis is the strong fibrous
Pectineal ligament (Inguinal ligament of Coopers).
Between the inguinal ligament and the Iliopubic eminence is the Iliopectineal arch, that
separates the space between the inguinal ligament the anterior surface of hip bone into lateral
neuromuscular and medial vascular compartments."
