the posterior tibial a. is a terminal branch of what?
popliteal a.
action of abductor hallucis
abduct the first digit
what does the common plantar digital a. give rise to ?
- superficial plantar digital arch by providing three small branches - superficial plantar digital arteries
origin of lateral head of flexor hallucis brevis
- cuboid near the peroneal groove, from the area of the lateral cuneiform adjacent to the cuboid and occasionally from the long and short plantar ligaments

4 - numbered from medial to lateral
larger branch off the lateral plantar a.
- medial branch of lateral plantar a. - proceeds medially across the foot and becomes known as the deep plantar arch
function of quadratus plantae

where is the deep plantar arch located in relation to plantar foot muscles?
- proceeds medially deep to the flexor digiti minimi brevis m and by penetrating through the lateral intermuscular spetum, enters the middle compartment - as arch crosses teh bases of 2nd-4th mets, it is located deep to the oblique head of the adductor hallucis and superficial to the interossei muscles
