practical calf muscles

Question 1

calf muscles

Answer 1

fibularis longus, fibularis brevis, plantaris, gastrocnemius, soleus, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallicus longus, posterior tibialis

Question 2

commonalities

Answer 2

action = plantar flexion + inversion
innervation = tibial n

Question 3

gastrocnemius

Answer 3

o=posterior condyles of femur
i= calcaneus
a= plantar flexion and knee flexion
in= tibial n.

Question 4

soleus

Answer 4

o= posterior surface of fibula and tibia
i=calcaneus
a=plantar flexion
in=deep tibial n

Question 5

flexor digitorum longus

Answer 5

o=posterior tibia
i= distal phalanges of digits 2-5
a= plantar flexion + flexion of digits
in= tibial n

Question 6

flexor hallucis longus

Answer 6

o=midshaft of fibula
i= distal phalanx of great toe
a= great toe flexion + plantar flexion
in= tibial n

Question 7

tibialis posterior

Answer 7

o= posterior interosseous membrane
i= navicular, medial cunifrm
a= plantar flexion + inversion
in= tibial n

Question 8

plantaris

Answer 8

o= lateral supracondylar line of femur
i= posterior surface of calcaneus
a= foot plantar and knee extension
in= tibial n

Question 9

fibularis longus

Answer 9

o= head and lateral surface of fibula
i= medial cuniform (first metatarsal)
a= plantar flexion and eversion
in= superficial fibular

Question 10

fibularis brevis

Answer 10

o= lateral and distal fibular
i= base of fifth metatarsal
a= plantar flexion and eversion
in= superficial fibular n
