Plantarflexion of the foot, artwork C016 / 6799
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 right foot. For the left foot, see C016/6800

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Plantarflexion of the Foot" provides a detailed illustration of the muscles involved in flexing the foot towards its lower surface. The print showcases the right foot from a side view, against a pristine white background. Highlighted by vibrant red arrows, this visual masterpiece guides us through the direction of movement when performing plantarflexion. The main players in this intricate process are prominently displayed: the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (commonly known as calf muscles), flexor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus, and tibialis posterior. These muscular structures extend downwards into the foot to enable smooth motion. The artist's attention to anatomical accuracy is evident as they intricately depict not only the musculature but also key components such as tendons and ligaments that contribute to proper foot function. Additionally, we learn that plantarflexion relies on stimulation from the tibial nerve for optimal performance. This stunning piece serves not only as an artistic marvel but also as an educational tool for those interested in biology or human anatomy. Its comprehensive depiction offers valuable insights into normal physiological processes within our bodies while showcasing biomechanics at play.
