  2. Flexor hallucis brevis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_hallucis_brevis_muscle

    Flexor hallucis brevis muscle arises, by a pointed tendinous process, from the medial part of the under surface of the cuboid bone, from the contiguous portion of the third cuneiform, and from the prolongation of the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle which is attached to that bone.

  3. Plantar nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_nerve

    The medial plantar nerve supplies: the abductor hallucis, the flexor digitorum brevis, the flexor hallucis brevis and the first lumbrical.Cutaneous distribution of the medial plantar nerve is to the medial sole and medial three and one half toes, including the nail beds on the dorsum (like the median nerve in the hand).

  4. Medial plantar nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_plantar_nerve

    The muscular branches supply muscles on the medial side of the sole, including the abductor hallucis, the flexor digitorum brevis, the flexor hallucis brevis, and the first lumbrical; those for the abductor hallucis and flexor digitorum brevis arise from the trunk of the nerve near its origin and enter the deep surfaces of the muscles; the branch of the flexor hallucis brevis springs from the ...

    In anatomy, flexor is a muscle that contracts to perform flexion (from the Latin verb flectere, to bend), [1] a movement that decreases the angle between the bones converging at a joint. For example, one's elbow joint flexes when one brings their hand closer to the shoulder , thus decreasing the angle between the upper arm and the forearm .

    Extensor hallucis longus; Extensor digitorum longus; Peroneus tertius; Deep fibular (peroneal) nerve and anterior tibial vessels: Lateral compartment: Fibularis longus; Fibularis brevis; Superficial fibular (peroneal) nerve and fibular artery: Deep posterior compartment: Tibialis posterior; Flexor hallucis longus; Flexor digitorum longus; Popliteus

  7. Cuboid bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuboid_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 ...

  8. Human leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leg

    It is an abductor and a weak flexor, and also helps maintain the arch of the foot. Lateral to the abductor hallucis is the flexor hallucis brevis, which originates from the medial cuneiform bone and from the tendon of the tibialis posterior. The flexor hallucis has a medial and a lateral head inserted laterally to the abductor hallucis.

  9. Tibial nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibial_nerve

    It passes between the abductor hallucis and flexor digitorum brevis to divide further into branches. Its distribution resembles to that of the distribution of median nerve in the hand. Its muscular branches supply the abductor hallucis, the flexor digitorum brevis, the flexor hallucis brevis and the first lumbrical. Cutaneous distribution of ...
