  2. Tibialis anterior muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibialis_anterior_muscle

    The movements of tibialis anterior are dorsiflexion and inversion of the ankle. However, actions of tibialis anterior are dependent on whether the foot is weight bearing or not (closed or open kinetic chain). When the foot is on the ground, the muscle helps to balance the leg and talus on the other tarsal bones so that the leg is kept vertical ...

  3. Anterior compartment of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_compartment_of_leg

    The anterior compartment of the leg is supplied by the deep fibular nerve (deep peroneal nerve), a branch of the common fibular nerve. The nerve contains axons from the L4, L5, and S1 spinal nerves. Blood for the compartment is supplied by the anterior tibial artery, which runs between the tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles.

  4. Tibia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibia

    The tibia (/ ˈ t ɪ b i ə /; pl.: tibiae / ˈ t ɪ b i i / or tibias), also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger, stronger, and anterior (frontal) of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates (the other being the fibula, behind and to the outside of the tibia); it connects the knee with the ankle.

  5. List of skeletal muscles of the human body - Wikipedia

    The muscle which can 'cancel' or to some degree reverse the action of the muscle. Muscle synergies are noted in parentheses when relevant. O (Occurrences) Number of times that the named muscle row occurs in a standard human body. Here it may also be denoted when a given muscles only occurs in a male or a female body.

  6. Human leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_leg

    The muscle dorsiflexes the hallux, and acts similar to the tibialis anterior in the weight-bearing leg. [29] Two muscles on the lateral side of the leg form the fibular (peroneal) group. The fibularis (peroneus) longus and fibularis (peroneus) brevis both have their origins on the fibula, and they both pass behind the lateral malleolus where ...

  7. Extensor digitorum longus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_digitorum_longus...

    It arises from the lateral condyle of the tibia; from the upper three-quarters of the anterior surface of the body of the fibula; from the upper part of the interosseous membrane; from the deep surface of the fascia; and from the intermuscular septa between it and the tibialis anterior on the medial, and the peroneal muscles on the lateral side.

  8. First metatarsal bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_metatarsal_bone

    Three muscles attach to the first metatarsal bone: the tibialis anterior, fibularis longus and first dorsal interosseus. [3] The tibialis anterior inserts at the basis of the bone, while the fibularis longus inserts at the tuberosity. The lateral part of the first dorsal interosseus muscle originates from the medial side of the bone.

  9. Anterior tibial artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_tibial_artery

    The anterior tibial artery is a branch of the popliteal artery. [1] It originates at the distal end of the popliteus muscle posterior to the tibia. The artery typically passes anterior to the popliteus muscle prior to passing between the tibia and fibula through an oval opening at the superior aspect of the interosseus membrane.
