The inferior tarsus (tarsus inferior; inferior tarsal plate) is smaller, is thin, is elliptical in form, and has a vertical diameter of about 5 mm (0.2 in). The free or ciliary margins of these plates are thick and straight.
There are three proximal tarsals, the tibiale, intermedium, and fibulare, named for their points of articulation with the bones of the lower limb. These are followed by a second row of four bones, referred to as the centralia (singular: centrale), and then a row of five distal tarsals, each articulating with a single metatarsal. In the great ...
Its inferior surface has two facets, which are best seen in the fresh condition. [ 8 ] The medial , situated in front of the middle calcaneal facet, is convex, triangular, or semi-oval in shape, and rests on the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament ; the lateral , named the anterior calcaneal articular surface, is somewhat flattened, and ...

Navicular bone. Inferior view. Fracture of the navicular bone. The tibialis posterior is the only muscle that attaches to the navicular bone.
Only one muscle is attached to the cuboid bone; the tibialis posterior.The tibialis posterior inserts to the under surface of the cuboid bone. [2] While the flexor hallucis brevis arises, by a pointed tendinous process, from the medial part of the under surface of the cuboid bone, from the contiguous portion of the lateral cuneiform bone, and from the prolongation of the tendon of the tibialis ...

[3] However, the same term is also used for the circular fibres of the ciliary muscle, [4] [5] and also for the orbitalis muscle that covers the inferior orbital fissure.
