What the muscle of leg is
A muscle that is part of the region of the hindlimb between the pelvis and ankle. The atlas records it as a muscle at the organ scale in the human body.
Where the muscle of leg is
It sits in the lower limb, within the muscular system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.
What the muscle of leg connects to
The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of leg.
