	IV. Myology. 8c. The Muscles and Fasciæ of the Leg. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		It arises from the lateral condyle and upper half or two-thirds of the lateral surface of the body of the tibia; from the adjoining part of the interosseous membrane; from the deep surface of the fascia; and from the intermuscular septum between it and the Extensor digitorum longus.
		It ends in a long tendon, which runs behind the lateral malleolus, in a groove common to it and the tendon of the Peronæus brevis, behind which it lies; the groove is converted into a canal by the superior peroneal retinaculum, and the tendons in it are contained in a common mucous sheath.
		This is especially the case in standing upon one leg, when the tendency of the superincumbent weight is to throw the leg medialward; the Peronæus longus overcomes this tendency by drawing on the lateral side of the leg.

		Clearly, the long lower leg sections, the leverage afforded by the powerful tendons, the low degree of weight in the legs, and the huge muscles located in the upper legs and torso all contribute to the speed and power of the horse.
		Because the upper leg sections are relatively short, the major muscle groups (and weight) are all located close in to the body, improving the angular acceleration of the legs for speed, while the elongation of the lower leg segments greatly increases the stride.
		All legs, be they front or back, have a joint which bends like a knee [rear knee, front pastern, human wrist] and another which bends like an elbow [rear hock, rear ankle, front elbow]; the net effect is the legs more or less "scissor" up and down in multiple segments.

	Oricom Technologies Comparative Leg Anatomy
		Animals lower on the tree of life have legs with an overall form which is analogous to higher animals, but the final shapes, leg attachment schemes, and means of locomotion are very different.
		The lower leg twist is necessary because the front leg overall rotates so as to point "backwards", in which case an "untwisted" leg would have the foot pads pointing to the sky - clearly not very convenient.
		Higher up in the chain of life, leg attachments have re-oriented so the legs are located vertically beneath the body; this allows the animal to stand upright with little expenditure of energy, and also greatly increases its power and stride.

	The Anatomy of Birds
		Birds are different to most mammals in a number of immediately obvious ways, they walk on two legs and have two wings, they have feathers instead of hair and a beak instead of jaws with teeth.
		The leg does not start to extend out from the body until after the knee joint which is never seen.
		The fundamental bones of a bird's leg are the femur, fibula,tibiotarsuss and tarsometatarsus.

	Foot Trainer - Foot and Leg Anatomy
		To better understand foot and leg muscle/tendon injuries, it is important to appreciate the basic elements that enable your body parts to move.
		To ensure your body moves smoothly with a minimum of friction, muscles are enveloped in a slippery skin like tissue called fascia.
		Extensor foot muscles allow your toes and feet to extend up and generally run from the top of the toes and feet and up the front or outside of the legs.

		Have a Question or Comment on this Article?
		In zoological anatomy, a leg is any one of the parts of an animal's body that (in most legged species and at most times) separate the rest of the body from the ground, and are used for locomotion.
		Legs are most common in one of the even-numbered quantities of 2 or 4 (in vertebrates), or 6, 8, or 12 (in arthropods); the legs of centipedes and millipedes are much more numerous (but seldom exactly a hundred or a thousand as their names might suggest).
