Human leg in a straight line, which represents the mechanical longitudinal axis of the leg, the Mikulicz line. This line stretches from the hip joint (or more precisely the head of the femur), through the knee joint (the intercondylar eminence of the tibia), and down to the center of the ankle (the ankle mortise, the fork-like grip between the medial and lateral malleoli). In the tibial shaft, the mechanical and anatomical axes coincide, but in the femoral shaft they diverge 6°, resulting in the "femorotibial angle" of 174° in a leg with normal axial alignment. A leg is considered straight when, with
Oruza Oruza Oruza is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. Palpi upturned, reaching vertex of head, where the second joint hairy in front and third joint minute. Antennae of male ciliated and with bristles at the joints. Thorax and abdomen slightly scaled. Fore legs with hairy tibia and femur. Hind legs of male with outer side hairy tibia and tarsi, with long short scaly spurs. Hind wings with long hairy tibia and tarsi in both sides and scaly spurs. Fore wings rather elongate, with round apex. Vein 8 anastomosing with veins 9 and 10 to form the areole. Hind
