| popliteal groove | A groove on the lateral condyle of the femur between the epicondyle and the articular margin. Its anterior end gives origin to the popliteus muscle; its posterior end lodges the tendon of the muscle when the knee is fully flexed. Synonym: sulcus popliteus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal line | A ridge which extends obliquely downward and medially across the back of the tibia from the fibular articular facet; it gives origin to the soleus muscle. Synonym: linea musculi solei, line for soleus muscle, linea poplitea, popliteal line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal lymph nodes | Two groups of nodes located in the popliteal fossa: the superficial popliteal lymph nodes, located around the termination of the small saphenous vein, that drain the skin of the back of the leg and lateral side of the foot; and the deep popliteal lymph nodes, located around the popliteal vessels, that drain the superficial group, the deep structures of the leg, and the knee joint. Synonym: nodi lymphatici popliteales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral condyle of femur; insertion, posterior surface of tibia above oblique line; action, from the fully extended and "locked" position, rotates the femur medially, on the fixed (planted) tibial plateau about 5 |
| popliteal notch | The deep fossa between the femoral condyles in which the cruciate ligaments are attached. Synonym: fossa intercondylaris, intercondyloid fossa, intercondylic fossa, intercondyloid notch, popliteal notch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal plane of femur | The posterior surface of the lower end of the femur between the diverging lips of the linea aspera. Synonym: facies poplitea femoris, planum popliteum, popliteal plane of femur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal plexus | Plexus popliteus, a nerve plexus surrounding the popliteal artery, derived from the femoral plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal pterygium syndrome | <syndrome> An inherited condition with a web behind the knee. (a pterygium is a winglike triangular membrane.) (12 Dec 1998) |
| popliteal region | The diamond-shaped space posterior to the knee joint bounded superficially by the diverging biceps femoris and semimembranosus muscles above and inferiorly by the two heads of the gastrocnemius muscle; deeply, the fossa is bound superiorly by the diverging supracondylar lines of the femur and the soleal line of the tibia inferiorly. Contents: tibial nerve, popliteal artery, vein, fat. Synonym: fossa poplitea, poples, ham, popliteal region, popliteal space, popliteus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| popliteal vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein formed by the union of the anterior and posterior tibial veins; it courses through the popliteal space and becomes the femoral vein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| popliteus | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral condyle of femur; insertion, posterior surface of tibia above oblique line; action, from the fully extended and "locked" position, rotates the femur medially, on the fixed (planted) tibial plateau about 5 |
