extend toes 2-5

30
Q

what branch of common fibular nerve innervates anterior compt of leg

A

deep fibular nerve

31
Q

list of arteries from pelvis to knee

A

external iliac –> femoral –> popliteal artery

32
Q

is the popliteal artery anterior or posterior

A

posterior

33
Q

what does the popliteal artery bifurcate into

A

anterior tibial and posterior tibial arteries (in proximal posterior leg)

34
Q

what nerve does the posterior tibial artery course with through the posterior compt

A

tibial nerve

35
Q

whats the superficial structure on plantar aspect of the foot

A

plantar aponeurosis (fascia)

fucntions of plantar aponeurosis

A

heel strike to mid stance absorbs loads by body weight

mid stance to push off contribute to rigid nature of foot during push off
