Muscles of ankle and foot Flashcards
The tibial nerve is found in these three muscles:
Gastrocnemius
Soleus
Plantaris
These three muscles are part of the superficial posterior group
Gastrocnemius
Soleus
Plantaris
The Gastrocs, soleus and plantaris have this nerve root in common
Tibial nerve
Gastrocnemius and soleus have these NRs
S1, S2
Origin of the Soleus
Posterior tibia and fibula
O of Plantaris
