Plantarflexion of the foot, artwork C016 / 6800
Plantarflexion of the foot. Artwork of the muscles of the foot from the side, with red arrows showing the direction of movement when flexing the foot in the direction of its lower (plantar) surface (plantarflexion). The main muscles involved are the gastrocnemius and soleus (calf muscle), flexor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus, and tibialis posterior. These muscles of the lower leg extend downwards into the foot. The nerve used is the tibial nerve. This is the left foot. For the right foot, see C016/6799

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork C016 / 6800, depicting the plantarflexion of the foot. From a side view, this illustration highlights the muscles of the foot and their movement when flexing towards its lower surface. The red arrows elegantly guide our eyes through this fascinating process. The main players in this graceful dance are revealed to be the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, commonly known as the calf muscle. Alongside them, we find the flexor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus, and tibialis posterior working harmoniously to create this mesmerizing motion. These muscular wonders extend from our lower leg into our precious feet. As we delve deeper into understanding this phenomenon, it becomes apparent that all these movements are orchestrated by none other than the tibial nerve. This particular artwork focuses on capturing these details for our left foot; however, if you seek insight into your right foot's mechanics, refer to C016/6799. With a white background providing contrast against vibrant illustrations, every element is meticulously presented for clarity and comprehension. This print invites us to explore not only anatomy but also physiology and biomechanics with its comprehensive depiction of tendons and ligaments. D & L GRAPHICS / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has masterfully crafted an artistic representation that seamlessly blends science with aesthetics in this remarkable piece of anatomical artistry.
