Muscles of the foot Flashcards
does epriderms have blood vessels ?
There are no blood vessels in the epidermis..nutrients and wastes are via diffusion
Does dermis have vascularization?
yes it contains vascular supply for dermis and epidermis and vareity of nerve endings
dermis is divided into
- Papillary layer
2. Reticular layer
sebacous glands on the dorsum of the foot
secrete sebum into the hair follicle to waterproof and moisturize the hair
skin appendages are derived from
epidermis
skin appendages on the dorsum of the foot includes
- hair follicle
- sebaceous glands,
- sweat glands
- nails
arrector pili muscles and bundle of smooth muscles attaching to the hair follicles are derived from
dermis
superficial fascia on the dorsum of the foot is absent at what level
subcutaneous surface
deep fascia on the dorsum of the foot forms ——–around the ankle
Retinacula
deep fascia on the dorsum of the foot forms
- Superior extensor retinaculum ( transverse crural ligament)
- inferior extensor retinaculum ( cruciate crural lig)
- flexor retinaculum (laciniate ligament)
- fibular retinaculum
Superior extensor retinaculum
attaches laterally to the dostal aspect of the shaft of fibula and medially to the distal aspect of shaft of tibia
Superior extensor retinaculum binds down the tendons of
- tibialis anterior
- EHL
- EDL
- Fibularis tertius
Inferior extensor retinaculum is attached laterally to
sinus tarsi of the calcaneous
Inferior extensor retinaculum is a Band courses medially as a double layer enclosing the tendons of
- Fibularis tertius
2. EDL
where is superior and inferior limb of Inferior extensor retinaculum formed
at the medial border of EDL
The superior limb of inferior extensor retinaculum encloses the tendons of
- EHL
2. Tibialis Anterior
The inferior limb of inferior extensor retinaculum encloses the tendons of
- EHL
2. tibialis anterior
Where does the superior limb of inferior extensor retinaculum attach to
medial malleolus
Where does the inferior limb of inferior extensor retinaculum attach to
plantar apeoneurosis
flexor retinaculum attaches to
medial malleolus and medial surface of the calcaneous
posterior to medial malleolus the following are arranged from medial to lateral just before they pass into tunnels that are formed deep to flexor retinaculum
- tendon of tibialis posterior
- tendon of FDL
- posterior tibial artery with veins on either side
- tibial nerve
- tendon of FHL
where is the common site for taking posterior tibial pulse and performing tibial nerve block
posterior to medial malleolus
what is tarsal tunnel syndrome?
Entrapment of tibial nerve or its (medial plantar /lateral plantar branch) in the tunnel beneath the flexor retinaculum
beneath the flexor retinaculum there are individual tunnes for each of the following
- tendon of tibialis posterior
- tendon of FDL
- Tendon of FHL
- medial plantar vessles and nerves
- lateral plantar vessles and nerves
superior and inferior portion of fibular retinaculum bind down the tendons of
fibularis longus
fibularis brevis
superior fibular retinaculum attached to
lateral malleolus and lateral surface of the calcaneous
inferior fibular retinaculum attaches to
lateral surface of calcaneous including fibular tubercle
fibular retinaculum is continuous with
inferior extensor retinaculum
tendons of lumbricales and interossei course along the side of the digits and are continuous with
Extensor hood
interdigital infections can spread along interossei and lumbrecales tendons and go to
plantar surface of the foot
name 2 intrinsic muscles on the dorsum of the foot?
- EHB
2. EDB
origin of EHB
- sinus tarsi of calcaneous
2interosseious talocalcaneal lig - inferior extensor retinaculum
course of EHB
obliquely from lateral to medial deep to tendon of EHL
insertion of EHB
dorsum of the base of the proximal phalanx of the hallux
action of EHB
dorsiflex the proximal phalanx of the hallux
origin of EDB
- sinus tarsi of calcaneous
- interosseous talocalcaneal lig
- inferior extensor retinaculum
course of EDB?
obliquely from lateral to medial deep to tendons of EDL and divides into 3 tendons
insertion of EDB?
into the lateral side of EDL tendons of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th toes at the level of base of the proximal phalanges and contribute to the extensor hood
Action of EDB?
dorsiflex the proximal phalanges of 2nd, 3rd and 4th toes
what are the extrinsic muscles on the dorsum of the foot
- tibialis anterior
- EHL
- EDL
- fibularis tertius
TA insert into
medial and plantar surfaces of the 1st cuneiforms and the bases of the first metatarsal (1st ray)
EDL trifurcate at what level?
at the head of the proximal phalanx
the central slip of the EDL inserts into
dorsum of the base of the middle phalanx
the 2 collateral slips unite at
the head of the middle phalanx
the 2 collateral insert into the
dorsum of the base of distal phalanx
FT insert into
dorsum of 5th metatarsal base
what tendons form the extensor hood
- EDL
2. EHL
the extensor hood extends from the
head of the metatarsal to the distal aspect of proximal phalanx
the proximal component of teh extensor hood is
sling portion
fibers of sling portion
encircle the capsule of MTP
fibers of sling portion of extensor hood blend with
- Plantar plate
- deep transverse metatarsal ligaments
- flexor sheaths
distal component of the hood is
wing portion
fibers of wing portion are arranged
obliquely on the sides of the digits
what contribute to the extensor hood on lesser digits
tendons of
- dorsal interossei
- plantar interossei
- lumbricales
- 1st,2nd,3rd tendons of EDB
what contribute to the extensor hood on hallux
tendons of

what FORMS the extensor hood?
tendons of
