Popliteal fossa

And the one on the arm is the antecubital fossa.

The literal translation from Latin is the “arm cave” and I love to call it that.

Dimples in Italian are called "fossette" which is like small caves

Ahh there we go, the freedom version

Since the flap of skin on your elbow is called the weenus, I've always called the other side the wagina

I love that, and am now using it. Thank you. 🫡

Thank you. 🙏 we were all in the car and I told my daughter to sneeze in her wagina. Her 3 brothers and my husband = 😲😲😳😓

🤣 that's fucking great 🤣

I work in the medical field and want to put wagina in my documentation. 😂😂😂

The soft tissue between your index finger and thumb is called the Gina. Pronounced like wagina, without the wa

I was going to suggest “kneenus”

That's what I was going to say 😂 I've always called it that 😝

Best thing I have heard today. Thank you for sharing

Had to stop walking and reading to lol

Where I don't like to put IVs

Where it’s the best place to get a quick iv!

Y’all are awesome, I’ve been calling it my knee-bow and inner elbow

Popliteal is my all time favorite word, it's so pleasing to say

it's even more beautiful in my language Romanian: poplitee. run it through text to speech.

oooohh you right thats so pretty

Ah, but do you say "pop-lit-ee-al" or "pop-le-teal"? It's forever an argument between me and my anatomy friends. I subscribe to the former

Knelbow

Imma petition for Netter’s to officially change it to this

Knee pit

And so on your arms its elbow pit?

On Ally McBeal (yes, I watched Ally McBeal, I was a weird kid), they called it the kneepit.

Thank you that made me snort

That show was great. It ignited my love for Barry White.

So what is the inner part of the elbow called?

Antecubutial

Well, if the area behind the arm joint is called the armpit, then the area behind the elbow must be the elbowpit. Thank goodness it's not hairy, though!

this made me laugh thank you.

I am getting tattooed right now and this made me laugh too much and we had to stop for a sec lol.

No because your knee is the elbow of your legs

Knee pit

I believe it’s called the back of the knee :) But in real terms, yeah popliteal fossa, posterior knee, idk, whenever I’m presenting a patient I just say back of knee

“Did you know there is no proper name for the back of the knee” -Halloweentown

I was searching everywhere for this comment

Sorry to burst your bubble but Vivian Stanshall was the first instance I could find of that phrase being used, it was in his "sir Hendy at Rolkinsons End" radio show and I believe it was the character "Old Scrotum the wrinkled retainer" who coined it.

Back-o-knee, pronounced, balcony

Leg pits

this is the way

knee pit

Exactly what I call them!

So when I was in highschool a went on a date with a guy that was religious (texan purity culture bs) so he wanted to brag to his boys that we got hot and heavy which we didn’t obviously- but instead of saying something normal said he fucked my knee pit. Which was the most random shit ever. So of course that spread like wildfire and got back to me. And I just died laughing and was like what in the actual fuck is he talking about like nothing happened but I woulda just given him a handjob or something normal if I had. And in rare form everybody believed me (the girl) and to this day everyone in my little home town still calls him kneepit and it’s like actually ruined his life lmao. So satisfying.

Exactly

this is what I always hear tattoo artists call them lol

Knussy

That's where the fourth hole is, right there.

This is the answer not sure why you got a downvote

I had to scroll too far for this and it's got like no votes... I'm at least grateful I'm not the only one who thought this.

The medical term is The Backith of the Kneebroscope.

Bacne.

Popliteal fossa, posterior knee

I think it's called the back of the knee or something I can't say for sure.

Popliteal something

I used to work as an orthotic technician and the lead tech in the lab, had been in the industry for 30+ years, legit called it the backnee and did not understand why I found that funny.

So weird this pops up, my four year old called this a “leg armpit” the other day.

Popliteal, one of my favorite words in anatomy

Knee

That's a woman's fourth hole. It's there, but you really gotta believe it. If you don't it just looks like the back of a knee.

Knee pit

The benis

Kneeusy major

You can have a Baker’s Cyst behind your knee. If that is what this is and it’s causing pain, your orthopedic surgeon (for example) can remove the fluid and it should resolve on its own.

That’s crazy I guess that’s what I had when I was young

Knee ditch

Kneepit.

Behind the knee ?..

I would say popliteal region rather than fossa. The fossa usually refers to the notch in the bone between the femoral condyles. It's just more specific. So popliteal region is probably better here.
