I Have A "Bone" To Pick
Second longest bone of the skeleton
Tibia
This calf muscle acts in plantar flexion of the foot and flexes the leg at the knee
Gastrocnemius
Innervates the posterior muscles of the leg needed for plantar flexion of the foot
Tibial nerve
Originates from the anterior edge of the lateral malleolus of the fibula and attaches to the neck of the talus
Anterior tibiofibular ligament
Patellar ligament attaches here
Tibial tuberosity
Navicular
This deep posterior muscle of the leg unlocks the knee
Popliteus
Travels around the fibula to supply the tibialis anterior and others
Deep fibular nerve
Connects the lateral tubercle of the talus with the upper, medial calcaneus
Posterior talcalcaneal ligament
Prominent ridge of posterior tibia
Soleal line
Form the sole and instep
Metatarsals
This muscle, medially below the rectus femoris, extends the leg at the knee
Vastus intermedius
Innervates the second, third, and fourth lumbricals
Lateral plantar nerve
Longer, but weaker than its posterior counterpart
Anterior cruciate ligament
Where the medial collateral ligament ligament attaches
Adductor tubercle of the femur
Forms a ball and socket joint that provides the full range of motion involved in walking and running
Intrinsic muscle that abducts and flexes the hallux (great toe)
Abductor hallucis
Femoral nerve
Most of this ligament's lateral surface is covered by the tendon of the biceps femoris
Lateral collateral ligament
Lateral malleolus of fibula
Patella
This muscle works with the flexor digitorum to push the toes downward
Quadratus plantae
Branch of tibial nerve, major branch of the sciatic nerve
Medial plantar nerve
Also known as the ligament of Wrisberg
Posterior meniscofemoral ligament
Lateral border of patella
