  • has extensor hallucis brevis component - to digit 1

origin:
dorsal surface of calcaneus

insertion:
base of proximal phalanx of great toe and proximal phalanges of toes 2,3 and 4 which attach in concert with tendons of extensor digitorum longus

23
Q

action of extensor digitorum brevis?

A

extend toes 1,2,3,4

24
Q

innervation of extensor digitorum brevis?

A

deep fibular nerve

25

muscles of lateral crural compartments

A

everters

flbularis longus
fibularis brevis

26
Q

attachment of fibularis longus?

A

origin:
upper lateral two thirds of fibula

insertion:
first metatarsal and medial cuneiform
-to bottom of foot

27
Q

action of fibularis longus?

A

everts and plantar flexes foot

to medial cuneiform**
-acts with antagonist tibialias anterior for eversion/inversion stability when walking

28
Q

innervation of fibularis longus?

A

superficial fibular nerve

29
Q

attachments of fibularis brevis

A

origin:
distal lateral fibula

insertion:
base of fifth metatarsal

30
Q

action of fibularis brevis

A

everts and plantar flexes the foot

31
Q

innervation of fibular brevis

A

superficial fibular nerve

32
Q

muscles of posterior crural compartment?

A

superficial layer:
gastrocnemius
soleus
plantaris

deep layer:
popliteus
flexor digitorum longus
flexor hallucis longus
tibialis posterior
33
Q

attachments of gastrocnemius

A

origin:
posterior surfaces of roughened area of lateral and medial femoral condyles

insertion:
calcaneus in common with soleus and plantaris muscles (achilles tendon)

34
Q

action of gastrocnemius

A

plantar flexes foot, flexes leg

more in running**

35
Q

innervation of gastrocnemius

A

tibial nerve

36
Q

triceps serae?

A

gastrocnemius
soleus
plantaris

37
Q

attachments of soleus

A

origin:
posterior surface of head and proximal shaft of fibula, soleal line on upper portion of tibia

insertion:
calcaneus with grastrocnemius and plantaris muscle

38
Q

action of soleus?

A

plantar flexes foot

more in jumping**
-bc its below the knee no leg flexion only plantar flexion

39
Q

innervation of soleus?

A

tibial nerve

40
Q

attachments of the plantaris?

A

origin:
posterior surface of lateral femoral condyle

insertion:
calcaneus with gastrocnemius and soleus

41
Q

action of plantaris?

A

weakly plantar flex foot and flex leg

42
Q

innervation of plantaris?

A

tibial nerve

43
Q

attachments of popliteus?

A

origin:
lateral surface of lateral condyle of femur

insertion:
proximal tibia above soleal line

44
Q

action of popliteus?

A

flexes and medially rotates leg

when foot is fixed, lateral rotates femur to unlock knee joint as leg flexion proceeds***

45
Q

innervation of popliteus?

A

tibial nerve

46
Q

achilles tendons

A

triceps serae

47
Q

attachments of flexor digitorum longus?

A

origin:
posterior surface, mid portion of tibia

insertion:
base of distal phalanx of four small toes

48
Q

action of flexor digitorum longus?

A

flexes four small toes, plantar flexes foot

49
Q

innervation of flexor digitorum longus?

A

tibial nerve

50
Q

attachments of tibialis posterior?

A

origin:
posterior surface of upper portion of tibia, fibula and intervening interosseous membrane

insertion:
plantar surface of metatarsals 2,3,4, navicular, medial cuneiform mainly, but also to ALL other tarsals except talus

51
Q

action of tibialis posterior?

A

inverts and plantar flexes foot

52
Q

innervation of tibialis posterior?

A

tibial nerve

53
Q

tendons behind medial malleolus?
