Iliotibial tract, anatomical artwork

Iliotibial tract. Computer artwork showing the muscle structure of the knee (top) and lower leg. Here the iliotibial tract (blue) is highlighted. The iliotibial tract, or iliotibial band, is a section of fibrous tissue (fascia) that lies over the muscles on the outer surface of the thigh, extending from the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone). It acts almost like a ligament, helping to stabilize the knee joint, whilst also aiding in flexing (bending) and extending (straightening) the knee

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomical artwork of the Iliotibial tract. In this computer-generated illustration, we are presented with a detailed view of the muscle structure surrounding the knee and lower leg. The vibrant blue color highlights the presence of the iliotibial tract, also known as the iliotibial band. The iliotibial tract is a crucial section of fibrous tissue that overlays the muscles on the outer surface of our thigh. It extends from our femur (thigh bone) to our tibia (shin bone), resembling a ligament in its function. This remarkable structure plays a vital role in stabilizing our knee joint while simultaneously assisting in flexing and extending movements. With its white background, this artistic representation beautifully captures various elements related to human anatomy and physiology. By focusing on key aspects such as joints, muscles, deep fascia, and myology, it provides an educational insight into how our bodies work. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional piece that combines scientific accuracy with aesthetic appeal. This image serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring and understanding the complexities of human musculoskeletal systems.
