Medically, the soles are the site of the plantar reflex, the testing of which can be painful due to the sole's sensitivity. The deep fibular nerve from the common fibular nerve provides the sensory innervation of the skin between the first and second toes and the motor innervation of the muscles of the anterior compartment of the leg and dorsal ...
This arrangement of dorsal interossei makes the second toe the midline of the foot, whereas the midline of the hand (marked by dorsal interossei of hand) is in the third finger. [2] Abduction is of little importance in the foot, but, together with the plantar interossei, the dorsal interossei also produce flexion at the metatarsophalangeal joints.
The three plantar interosseous muscles are unipennate, as opposed to the bipennate structure of dorsal interosseous muscles, and originate on a single metatarsal bone.The three muscles originate on the medial aspect of metatarsals III-V.
Plantar: Lateral plantar artery and plantar arch, plantar metatarsal and plantar digital arteries. Nerve: Lateral plantar nerve: Actions: Dorsal: Abducts 2nd through 4th toes, flex metatarsophalangeal joints, and extend phalanges. Plantar: Adduct digits (2-4) and flex metatarsophalangeal joint and extend phalanges. Anatomical terms of muscle
This diagram shows the bottom-most layer of muscles, just under the plantar skin of the foot. The abductor hallucis muscle is located in the medial border of the foot and contributes to form the prominence that is observed on the region. It is inserted behind on the tuberosity of the calcaneus, the flexor retinaculum, and the plantar ...
The foot (pl.: feet) is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates.It is the terminal portion of a limb which bears weight and allows locomotion.In many animals with feet, the foot is a separate [clarification needed] organ at the terminal part of the leg made up of one or more segments or bones, generally including claws and/or nails.
The narrowed part in the middle is referred to as the body or shaft of the bone. The bone is somewhat flatten giving it two surfaces; the plantar (towards the sole of the foot) and the dorsal side (the area facing upwards while standing). [1] These surfaces are rough for the attachment of ligaments. The bone is curved longitudinally, so as to ...
The flexor digitorum brevis or flexor digitorum communis brevis [1] is a muscle which lies in the middle of the sole of the foot, immediately above the central part of the plantar aponeurosis, with which it is firmly united. Its deep surface is separated from the lateral plantar vessels and nerves by a thin layer of fascia.
