FRONT:
Break A Leg!
BACK:
FACT: The largest muscle groups in the upper leg are the hamstrings and quadriceps. These are some of the longest and strongest muscles in the body. Powering your stride and squat, they give shape and definition to your thighs. There are 20 muscles in the lower leg which help you move your ankles, feet and toes. This is also where your Achilles tendon lives. Connecting your heel bone, it puts a spring in your step!
The International Museum of Surgical Science, a division of the International College of Surgeons (ICS), maintains over 10,000 square feet of public galleries committed to the history of surgery, and an exquisite permanent collection of art and artifacts from the history of Medicine. The Museum supports its Mission through medically themed exhibitions and programs, in addition to a strong contemporary art exhibition program.
