Gross Anatomy Students with Professors and TAs - California (July 2005)


Here is the group of fine individuals I spent my summer with. The ligament boy and alleged (however falsely it may be) Walking Netter's favorite bonus question: Give the innervation of the leg muscle that has an insertion on the opposite surface of one of the bones the muscle which originates from the proximal 2/3 of the lateral surface of the tibia inserts on. Oh, I was also partial to my ball of tape bonus question...

The answer to the bonus is in the comments section. Cheat if you must; you hurt nobody but yourself.

The muscle that originates from the proximal 2/3 of the lateral surface of the tibia is the tibialis anterior. It inserts on two bones, one of which is metatarsal #1 (on the dorsal surface). On the opposite (plantar) surface, the fibularis longus (aka peroneus longus) inserts. The innervation of fibularis longus is the superficial fibular nerve with roots L4, L5, and S1.
