MUSCLES OF THE LEG: Anatomically, your leg lies between you knee and your ankle. These long, spindle-shaped muscles help move and/or stabilize the leg, but they also have long tendons of insertion to reach the foot or toes. As in the forearm and thigh, they are divided into compartments based both on location and on similar functions, and some muscles will lie deep to others. IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING MUSCLES IN THE POSTERIOR COMPARTMENT OF THE LEG ON FIGURES 10.38 & 10.39 OF YOUR SALADIN TEXT. Gastrocnemius* Flexor digitorum longus Soleus* Flexor hallucis longus Tibialis posterior IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING MUSCLES IN THE ANTERIOR COMPARTMENT OF THE LEG ON FIGURE 10.37 OF YOUR SALADIN TEXT Tibialis anterior* Fibularis (Peroneus) longus Extensor digitorum longus* Identify the 4 leg muscles marked with an asterisk (*) on the model of the lower limb Select one muscle listed for each compartment of the leg and be prepared to discuss its origin, insertion, and function. MUSCLES ON THE CADAVER: After studying the muscles using diagrams and models, identify the following muscles on the cadaver in the supine (face up) position: Pectoralis major Flexor digitorum superficialis Pectoralis minor Extensor carpi ulnaris Deltoid Extensor digitorum of upper limb Biceps brachii Rectus femoris Triceps brachii Vastus lateralis Flexor carpi ulnaris Vastus medialis Flexor carpi radialis Sartorius
