Week 9 feelin' fine
These movements occur at the taco-crural joint.
What are dorsiflexion and plantarflexion.
The bones of the foot are divided into these three regions.
What are the tarsal region, the metatarsal region, and the phalangeal region?
This muscle abducts and flexes the baby toe.
What is abductor digit minimi?
The actions of this compartment of the leg are: ankle and knee flexion.
What is the superficial posterior compartment?
PADs and DABs are a mnemonic for this.
What is Plantar interossei ADduct and Doral Interossei ABduct?
This is the main function of the tibia.
What is transmits weight?
This is the largest and strongest foot bone.
What is the calcaneus?
The leg is divided into this many compartments.
What is four? Anterior, lateral, superficial posterior, deep posterior.
This large leg muscle flexes the knee, plantar flexes ankle when knee is extended, and lifts the heel during gait.
What is gastrocnemius?
This structure arises from the calcaneus and attaches to the fibrous sheets enclosing the flexor tendons of the foot.
What is the plantar fascia?
The soleal line is an attachment point on this lower leg bone.
What is the tibia?
This metatarsal features medial and lateral sesamoid bones.
What is the first metatarsal?
There are this many arches supporting the foot.
What is three?
These two loooong muscles crisscross each other on the bottom of the foot.
What are flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus?
This muscle extends the lateral four digits of the foot.
What is extensor digitorum longus?
This part of the talus articulates with the navicular.
What is the head of the talus?
This arch is composed of the cuboid, cuneiforms, and bases of the metatarsals.
What is the transverse arch?
The deep posterior compartment is innervated by this.
What is the tibial nerve?
This is the deepest and most anterior muscle of the deep posterior compartment.
What is tibialis posterior?
This muscle assists flexor digitorum longus in flexing lateral four digits of the foot.
What is quadratus plantae?
This is the main function of the fibula.
What is site of muscle attachments?
This ligament unites calcaneus, sustentaculum tali, and navicular bones and helps to maintain the medial longitudinal arch.
What is the calcaneonavicular/Spring ligament?
The tarsus is divided into these regions.
What are the hindfoot (talus, calcaneus) and the mid foot (navicular, cuboid, cunieforms)?
This muscle is the only member of the anterior compartment that everts the foot.
What is fibularis tertius?
Innervation of the foot is primarily provided by these.
What are plantar nerves?
