The septa are formed from the fascia which is made up of a strong type of connective tissue. The fascia also separates the skeletal muscles from the subcutaneous tissue. [2] Due to the great pressure placed on the leg, from the column of blood from the heart to the feet, the fascia is very thick in order to support the leg muscles. [3]
The anterior intermuscular septum of leg or anterior crural intermuscular septum is a band of fascia which separates the lateral from the anterior compartment of leg.. The deep fascia of leg gives off from its deep surface, on the lateral side of the leg, two strong intermuscular septa, the anterior and posterior peroneal septa, which enclose the peroneus longus and brevis, and separate them ...
The posterior intermuscular septum of leg or posterior crural intermuscular septum is a band of fascia which separates the lateral compartment of leg.. The deep fascia of leg gives off from its deep surface, on the lateral side of the leg, two strong intermuscular septa, the anterior and posterior peroneal septa, which enclose the peronæi longus and brevis, and separate them from the muscles ...
Intermuscular septums of the leg may refer to: Anterior intermuscular septum of leg, or anterior crural intermuscular septum is a band of fascia which separates the lateral from the anterior compartment of leg; Deep transverse fascia, also known as transverse intermuscular septum of leg
The deep transverse fascia or transverse intermuscular septum of leg [1] is a transversely placed, intermuscular septum, from the deep fascia, between the superficial and deep muscles of the back of the leg. At the sides it is connected to the margins of the tibia and fibula.
The soleus is the most effective muscle for plantar flexion in a bent knee position. The gastrocnemius originates on the femur, so bending the leg limits its effective tension. During regular movement (i.e., walking) the soleus is the primary muscle utilized for plantar flexion due to the slow-twitch fibers resisting fatigue. [9]
The deep fascia of leg or crural fascia forms a complete investment to the muscles, and is fused with the periosteum over the subcutaneous surfaces of the bones.. The deep fascia of the leg is continuous above with the fascia lata (deep fascia of the thigh), and is attached around the knee to the patella, the patellar ligament, the tuberosity and condyles of the tibia, and the head of the fibula.
Intermuscular septum can refer to: medial intermuscular septum of arm; medial intermuscular septum of thigh; lateral intermuscular septum of arm; lateral intermuscular septum of thigh; anterior intermuscular septum of leg; posterior intermuscular septum of leg
