👉 The term "popliteal" is a medical term that refers to the area between the knee joint and the foot. It is located just below the ankle bone, in the region of the hipbone. The popliteal cavity contains nerves, vessels, lymph nodes, and muscles that are involved in the movement of the leg and foot.
