- Structures comprising the boundaries of the fossa
- Arrangement of major neurovascular structures across the fossa – Tibial nerve, popliteal artery, popliteal vein, common peroneal nerve
- Position and technique for palpation of popliteal pulse
- Popliteus:
- Innervation
- Actions (on the femur / tibia and its role in lateral meniscus movement)
- Floor: popliteus muscle fascia, femur
- Superior: biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus
- Inferior: gastrocnemius, plantaris
- tibial and common peroneal/fibular nerves (as terminal branches of sciatic nerve)
- popliteal vein, popliteal artery (lies deep to the vein)
- popliteal vein receives contribution from small saphenous vein
