Concept explainers
To discuss:
The four muscle compartments (layers) of the ventral aspect of the foot, and the muscles in each: the flexor digitorum brevis, abductor digiti minimi, and abductor halluces (layer 1); the quadratus plantae and four lumbrical muscles (layer 2); the flexor digiti minimi brevis, flexor halluces brevis, and adductor hallucis (layer 3); and the four dorsal interosseous muscles and three plantar interosseous muscles (layer 4).
Introduction:
Comparing with all the muscles of the human body, the lower limbs consists of the largest and strongest muscles. The muscles of the lower limbs are improved for strength rather than precision. These lower limbs muscles aids for walking, standing, running and also in maintaining balance.
