Intermetatarsal joints. Ligaments of the sole of the foot, with the tendons of the peronaeus longus, Ttbialis posterior and tibialis anterior muscles. (Plantar intermetatar. lig. labeled at upper left.) The ligaments of the foot from the lateral aspect. (Dorsal intermet. labeled at lower right.) The intermetatarsal joints are the articulations ...
The metatarsophalangeal joints (MTP joints) are the joints between the metatarsal bones of the foot and the proximal bones (proximal phalanges) of the toes. They are analogous to the knuckles of the hand, and are consequently known as toe knuckles in common speech. They are condyloid joints, meaning that an elliptical or rounded surface (of the ...
In human anatomy, the lower leg is the part of the lower limb that lies between the knee and the ankle. [5] Anatomists restrict the term leg to this use, rather than to the entire lower limb. [6] The thigh is between the hip and knee and makes up the rest of the lower limb. [5] The term lower limb or lower extremity is commonly used to describe ...
Plantar calcaneocuboid ligament. Ligaments of the sole of the foot, with the tendons of the peronæus longus, tibialis posterior and tibialis anterior muscles. (Plantar calcaneocuboid labeled at center left.) The plantar calcaneocuboid ligament ( short calcaneocuboid ligament or short plantar ligament) is a ligament on the bottom of the foot ...
The interphalangeal joints of the foot are the joints between the phalanx bones of the toes in the feet. Since the great toe only has two phalanx bones (proximal and distal phalanges), it only has one interphalangeal joint, which is often abbreviated as the " IP joint ". The rest of the toes each have three phalanx bones (proximal, middle, and ...
The dorsal ligaments are strong, flat bands.. The first metatarsal is joined to the first cuneiform by a broad, thin band; the second has three, one from each cuneiform bone; the third has one from the third cuneiform; the fourth has one from the third cuneiform and one from the cuboid; and the fifth, one from the cuboid.
The anatomy and composition of the plantar plates are similar to the palmar plates in the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and interphalangeal joints in the hand; the proximal origin is thin but the distal insertion is stout. Due to the weight-bearing nature of the human foot, the plantar plates are exposed to extension forces not present in the human ...
TA2. 1941. FMA. 35210. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The cuneonavicular joint is a joint (articulation) in the human foot. It is formed between the navicular bone and the three cuneiform bones. The navicular and cuneiform bones are connected by dorsal and plantar ligaments.
