Plantar surface of the Foot Flashcards
What are the attachments of the PA?
Proximally attaches to the calcaneus
Distally divides into 5 bands which are continuous with the fibrous digital sheaths
What supplies the pink region?
Superficial peroneal nerve
What supplies the green region?
Saphenous
What supplies the purple region?
Medial plantar nerve
Describe the lateral plantar artery
Initially is found between layers 1 and 2
Forms the deep plantar arch between layers 3 and 4
The deep plantar artery is from the dorsalis pedis and it anastomoses with deep plantar arch
The arch gives off plantar metatarsal and digital arteries
What are the attachments of Abductor Hallucis?
Medial Tubercle of Calcaneus, Flexor retinaculum
Inserts into the medial aspect of the base of the proximal phalanx
What is the root value of the medial and lateral plantar nerves?
S2, S3
What is this muscle?
Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis
Describe how the tibial nerve enters into the foot?
Runs deep to the flexor retinaculum, posterior to medial malleolus
Enters foot deep to abductor hallucis where it divides into medial and lateral plantar nerves
What muscles are located in layer 3 of the foot?
Flexor Hallicus Brevis
Adductor Hallucis
Flexor Digiti Minimi Brevis
What are the attachments of the dorsal interossei?
Adjacent sides of the metatarsals 1-5 (bipennate)
1st inserts onto the medial side of the proximal phalanx of the 2nd digit
2nd to 4th insert on the lateral side of the proximal phalanx of digits 2-4
What are the attachments of the lumbricles?
Tendons of the FDL
Inserts into the medial side of the dorsal tendon expansion
What are the bones of the foot divided into?
Phalanges
Metatarsals
Tarsals
What is this muscle?
Flexor Digitorum Brevis
What muscles are supplied by the medial plantar nerve?
Abductor Hallucis
Flexor Digitorum Brevis
1st Lumbrical
Flexor Hallucis Brevis
What supplies the blue region?
Calcaneal branches
What are the muscles of layer 1 of the foot? (3)
Abductor Hallucis
Flexor Digitorum Brevis
Abductor Digiti Minimi
What are the muscles shown?
Plantar interossei (unipennate)
True or False?
All interossei of the foot are unipenate
False!
the plantar interossei are unipenate
the dorsal are bipenate
What are the attachments of abductor digiti minimi?
Medial and Lateral tubercles of the calcaneus
Inserts into the lateral base of the proximal phalanx of little toe
What is this muscle?
Quadratus Plantae
What supplies the orange region?
Dorsal lateral cutaneous nerve
