This plane divides the body into right and left portions.
The sagittal plane
This large, rough projection on the lateral side of the femur serves as an attachment site for several hip muscles
The greater trochanter
This ligament spans from the sacrum to the ischial tuberosity and helps stabilize the pelvis
Sacrotuberous ligament
This tarsal bone articulates with the tibia and fibular to form the ankle joint
The Talus
This muscle, along with the soleus, forms the triceps surae
What is the gastrocnemius
This type of cartilage covers the ends of bones in synovial joints.
This pelvic structure forms the anterior junction between the left and right pubic bones.
What is the pubic symphysis
This quadriceps muscle lies deepest and directly contacts the femur.
Vastus Intermedius
This joint allows inversion and eversion of the foot
The subtalar joint
This muscle flexes the great toe and assists with plantarflexion
Flexor Hallucis Longus
The humeroulnar joint is an example of this type of synovial joint.
A hinge joint
This pelvic landmark serves as the attachment site for the inguinal ligament and sartorius muscle
This nerve passes inferior to piriformis and supplies the posterior thigh.
What is the sciatic nerve.
This tarsal bone articulates with the calcaneus, 4th metatarsal, and 5th metatarsal.
The Cuboid
This muscle originates on the lateral condyle of the tibia and extends the toes.
Extensor digitorum longus
This type of cartilage is found in the meniscus and intervertebral discs and is the toughest cartilage in the body.
This depression located between the greater and lesser trochanters on the posterior femur is the attachment site for obturator externus.
The trochanteric fossa
These muscles insert onto the iliotibial tract (one anteriorly and one posteriorly).
Tensor Fascea Latea
This bone's styloid process can be found on the lateral side of the foot
5th metatarsal
The peroneus longus inserts on these two bones after crossing the plantar surface of the foot
Medial cuneiform
1st metatarsal
A soccer athlete twists their body to kick a ball. Trunk rotation occurs on this anatomical plane.
Transverse plane
This projection is located on the distal medial femur and serves as the attachment site for the adductor magnus tendon
The adductor tubercle
This thigh muscle inserts onto the head of the fibula.
Biceps femoris
Name the attachments of the tibiocalcaneal band/part of the deltoid ligament
Distally: sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus
This lower leg muscle is found in the posterior compartment but acts to invert and plantarflex the foot while supporting the medial longitudinal arch
Tibialis posterior
