Calf muscles, artwork C013 / 4575
Calf muscles. Computer artwork of a side view of a set of calf muscles (red) and their attachments to the bones of the leg and foot. These are the three fibularis muscles (fibularis longus, fibularis brevis, fibularis tertius) that originate on and run down the fibula, passing through the ankle and attaching to the metatarsals of the foot. The fibularis longus is larger and longer than the other two muscles, which start lower down. These three muscles are used to flex (bend) the ankle downwards and sideways. This view of the left leg includes the knee cartilage, as well as some of the ligaments (white) of the knee, ankle, and foot joints

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of calf muscles and their attachments to the bones of the leg and foot. In this computer artwork, a side view perspective reveals the three fibularis muscles - fibularis longus, fibularis brevis, and fibularis tertius - originating from the fibula and running down through the ankle before attaching to the metatarsals of the foot. The larger and longer fibularis longus muscle stands out among its counterparts which start lower down. These powerful muscles play a crucial role in flexing (bending) both downwards and sideways at the ankle joint. The detailed illustration also includes other essential components such as knee cartilage, ligaments of various joints including knee, ankle, and foot joints. The image provides an invaluable insight into human anatomy while highlighting key elements like connective tissue, tendons, musculature, ligaments that make up our musculoskeletal system. It is a testament to our body's incredible design for movement. With its focus on biological accuracy and anatomical precision, this print serves as an educational tool for students studying biology or anyone interested in exploring human physiology. It captures not only the functional aspects but also celebrates the aesthetic appeal found within our bodies' structures.
