This document provides an overview of the lower limb, including its general plan and divisions, surface anatomy, bones, muscles, innervation, vasculature, and sample multiple choice questions. It begins with learning objectives and covers the pelvis/gluteal region, thigh, leg, and foot. Surface anatomy is discussed for the gluteal region, anterior thigh and leg, posterior leg and popliteal fossa, and anterior leg bones and landmarks. The document then addresses the bones, muscles, innervation via lumbosacral and lumbar plexuses, and arteries and veins of the lower limb.
