Calf muscles, artwork C013 / 4576
Calf muscles. Computer artwork of a posterior 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. Both legs show the knee cartilage, while the view at left includes some of the ligaments (white) of the knee and ankle joints

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of calf muscles in stunning detail. The computer artwork presents a posterior view of three fibularis muscles, namely fibularis longus, fibularis brevis, and fibularis tertius. Originating from the fibula and running down through the ankle, these muscles attach to the metatarsals of the foot. The larger and longer fibularis longus muscle stands out among its counterparts that start lower down. Together, these three muscles play a crucial role in flexing (bending) the ankle downwards and sideways. The image also offers a glimpse into knee cartilage on both legs while featuring some ligaments (white) of both knee and ankle joints on the left side. Every element within this composition highlights not only the complexity but also the functionality of our musculoskeletal system. From bones like tibia, calcaneus (heel bone), and connective tissues to tendons and ligaments - all contribute to maintaining healthy mobility. With its emphasis on anatomical accuracy, this artwork provides an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding human anatomy or studying biology-related fields. It serves as a reminder that beneath our skin lies an intricate network of structures working harmoniously to support movement. This remarkable print is brought to you by Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library – a reliable source for high-quality scientific imagery capturing various aspects of life sciences without commercial intent.
