Segments of the Lower Limb
Limb Girdlepelvic girdle (gluteal)
Free limb
thigh

Limb Development
Lower limb develops in an anterolateral position at the level of the L2 to S3 trunk segments
Great toe positioned in cephalic direction with the soles of the feet in an ateriomedial direction
Knee positioned in a posteriolateral positionSlide4
