Popliteus The Extensor Hallucis Brevis inserts where? Proximal Phalanx of first toe Assists dorsiflexion and eversion; small anterior muscle. Fibularis tertius Flexor digitorum longus is on the posterior surface of... the tibia Gastrocnemius & Soleus Inserts where? Calcaneus via calcaneus tendon Originating from the distal 2/3 of lateral fibula is what? Fibularis Brevis The Extensor digitorum Brevis Originates from where?

Tibial L4, 5, S1, (2) Where does the Flexor Hallucis Longus Insert at? Distal Phalanx of first toe The Abductor Digiti Minimi inserts where? Proximal Phalanx of fifth toe Innervated by the same nerve as the gastrocnemius Soleus (tibial nerve) Unlocks the knee by rotating it Popliteus The Fibularis tertius is distal where? Distal Portion of the fibula Plantaris Assists with plantarflexion of the ankle Attaches to the base of the 5th metatarsal Fibularis brevis The Popliteus does what?
