Extends the big toe The Plantaris is innervated By what nerve? Tibial L4, 5, S1, (2) Controlled by the superficial fibular nerve Fibularis brevis What short muscle flexes toes (not flexor digit longus) Flexor Digitorum Brevis Ends on the distal phalanges of toes 2–5 Flexor digitorum longus Supplied by the nerve of the anterior compartment Tibialis anterior (deep fibular) Inserts onto the heel via a common tendon Soleus The Extensor Hallucis Brevis inserts where? Proximal Phalanx of first toe Inserts broadly across the tarsal bones Tibialis posterior Receives signals from the deep fibular nerve Extensor hallucis longus Unlocks the knee by rotating it Popliteus Where does the Flexor Hallucis Longus Insert at? Distal Phalanx of first toe The Extensor digitorum Brevis Originates from where? Dorsal surface of calcaneus The Tibial L4, S1, 2 is the nerve for what muscle? Flexor Hallucis Longus Popliteus originates on what part of the femur? Lateral Condyle The Fibularis tertius is distal where? Distal Portion of the fibula The Plantaris Originates from what? Lateral supracondylar line of femur Originating from the distal 2/3 of lateral fibula is what? Fibularis Brevis Flexor digitorum longus is on the posterior surface of... the tibia Attaches to the base of the 5th metatarsal Fibularis brevis The Soleus Does what? Plantarflexes the ankle without crossing over the knee Shares innervation with most posterior leg muscles Flexor hallucis longus (tibial nerve) This calf muscle crosses the knee joint Gastrocnemius Extensor Hallucis Longus is innervated by what? Deep Fibular L4, 5, S1 What can flex the 2-5 toes? Flexor Digitorum Longus Plantarflexes and inverts the foot. Tibialis posterior What muscle inserts at the proximal/posterior aspect of tibia? Popliteus Even though it is located on top of the foot, it helps with extending the toes Extensor digitorum brevis It helps "push-off" the big toe during walking. Flexor hallucis longus Tibialis posterior is where on the tibia and fibula? Posterior surface Innervated by the same nerve as the gastrocnemius Soleus (tibial nerve) What muscle Originates from the Middle/posterior surface of tibia? Flexor Digitorum Longus What Big muscle flexes the knee? Gastrocnemius Both the fibularis longus and brevis are innervated by? Superficial Fibular L4, 5, S1 Deep/behind gastrocnemius and important for posture. Soleus Abductor Digiti Minimi can flex what? Flex the fifth toe Plantaris Assists with plantarflexion of the ankle What Everts the foot? Fibularis Brevis Tibialis Anterior does what to the foot and ankle.
