26
Q

3 regions of pes

A

tarsus, metatarsus, digits

27
Q

flexion of tarsus

A

motion that decreases angle between tibia and distal surface of metatarsals

28
Q

Retinaculum

A

ct band around tendons to stabilize them

29
Q

Extension of tarsus

A

any muscle attaching to calcanea tendon participates in extending tarsus; biceps femoris, semitendinosis, gracilis, gastrocnemius, and superficial digital flexor

Action- Extension of tarsus
Innervation- Tibial nerve

31
Q

superficial digital flexor muscle and gastrocnemius

A

half twist before reaching tubercalcanei change position bc superficial digital flexor has to become superficial to gastrocnemius because it has more distal attachment
