21
Q

What is a general rule for naming the foot inventor and foot evertor muscles?

A
  • Foot inventors have “Tibialis” in their name

- Foot evertors have “Fibularis” in their name

22
Q

What are the two motor/sensory nerves of the plantar foot? From what nerve do they originate?

A

Tibial n. exits the Tarsal Tunnel and splits into:

  • Medial Plantar n.
  • Lateral Plantar n.
23
Q

Which four muscles receive motor innervation from the Medial Plantar n.? What are the two areas that receive sensory innervation?

A

Motor:

  • Abductor Hallucis
  • Flexor Hallucis Brevis
  • Flexor Digitorum Brevis
  • Lumbrical 1

Sensory:

  • Medial aspect of sole of foot
  • Tips and plantar aspects of medial 3 1/2 digits
24
Q

Which six muscles are innervated by the Lateral Plantar n. (2 are groups)? What are the two areas that receive sensory innervation?

A

Motor:

  • Adductor Hallucis
  • Quadratus Plantae
  • Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis
  • Adductor Digiti Minimi
  • Lateral 3 Lumbricals
  • All Interossei

Sensory:

  • Lateral aspect of sole of foot
  • Tips and plantar aspect of lateral 1 1/2 digits
25
Q

What are the two arteries of the plantar foot? Which artery do they originate from and what branches do they each give off (2, 3)? Which artery supplies most of the blood of the plantar foot?

A

Posterior Tibial a. splits into:
Medial Plantar a.
- Plantar digital aa.
- Superficial plantar arch

Lateral Plantar a. (supplies most blood of plantar foot)

  • Plantar digital aa.
  • Plantar metatarsal aa.
  • Deep plantar arch
26
Q

What is the venous blood supply of the plantar foot (deep versus superficial)? What do they drain into (2)?

A
  • Deep: accompany aa. and share same names; drain into Fibular v. and Posterior Tibial v.
  • Superficial: drain into Small saphenous v. and Great Saphenous v.
27
Q

What is the arterial blood supply of the dorsal foot? Which artery does it originate from and what branches does it give off (3)?

A

Anterior Tibial a. becomes the Dorsalis Pedis a. - branches into:

  • Arcuate a.
  • Dorsal Metatarsal aa.
  • Dorsal Digital aa.
28
Q

What is the arterial blood supply of the dorsal foot? Which artery does it originate from and what branches does it give off (3)?

A

Anterior Tibial a. becomes the Dorsalis Pedis a. - branches into:

  • Arcuate a.
  • Dorsal Metatarsal aa.
  • Dorsal Digital aa.
29
Q

What is the venous blood supply of the dorsal foot (deep versus superficial)? What does the superficial dorsal foot drain into (2)?

A
  • Deep: accompany aa. and share same names

- Superficial: Dorsal venous arch drains medially into Great Saphenous v. or laterally into Small Saphenous v.
