2) Abducts great toe at metatarsophalangeal joint

27
Q

What are the attachments of abductor digiti minimi?

A 
Origin = lateral and medial processes of calcaneal tuberosity and band of connective tissue connecting calcaneus with base of metatarsal 5
Insertion = lateral side of base of proximal phalynx of little toe
28
Q

What is the action of abductor digiti minimi?

Q

What are the attachments of quadratus plantae?

A 
Origin = medial surface of calcaneus and lateral process of calcaneal tuberosity 
Insertion = lateral side of tendon of flexor digitorum longus in proximal sole of foot
35
Q

What is the function of quadratus plantae?

A

Assists flexor digitorum longus in flexing toes 2-5

36
Q

The third layer of muscles in the plantar surface of the foot contains what 3 muscles?

A

1) Flexor hallucis brevis
