Introduction | History of Empiricism. Empiricism is the theory that the origin of all knowledge is sense experience. It emphasizes the role of experience and evidence, especially sensory perception, in the formation of ideas, and argues that the only knowledge humans can have is a posteriori (i.e. based on experience).
The main anatomic structures of the posterolateral aspect of the knee are the lateral (fibular) collateral ligament (LCL) , the popliteus tendon and the popliteofibular ligament.
The popliteal fossa also has a floor and a roof. The floor of the popliteal fossa is formed by the posterior surface of the knee joint capsule, and by the posterior surface of the femur. The roof is made of up two layers; popliteal fascia and skin. The popliteal fascia is continuous with the fascia lata of the leg.
