plantaris muscle

The injury was diagnosed as inflammation of the plantaris muscle.

The plantaris muscle and a portion of its tendon run between the two muscles.

In addition, the plantaris muscle does atrophy.

The plantaris muscle is composed of a thin muscle belly and a long thin tendon.

It originates from the femur on the inner side of the plantaris muscle and inserts into the posterior ligament of the knee-joint.

If the palmaris longus muscle is not available for harvesting in an individual, the anatomically analogous plantaris muscle in the leg may be taken instead.

It is accompanied by a "fourth head", the slight plantaris muscle, the long slender tendon of which is also attached to the heel bone but not visible.

The sural arteries (inferior muscular arteries) are two large branches, which are distributed to the gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantaris muscles.

The left gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantaris muscles were surgically isolated and the sciatic nerve, which innervates this muscle complex, was cut and attached to an electrode.

What had hit the Governor was a torn plantaris muscle in the calf, and yesterday he was off his feet, though not off the phone, applying ice and heat to the injured leg.

But the anxiety returned for Showalter in the ninth inning as Mike Gallego strained his left plantaris muscle, which is beneath the calf, while running the bases on Polonia's flyout.

Barely used nerves and muscles, such as the plantaris muscle of the foot, that are missing in part of the human population and are routinely harvested as spare parts if needed during operations.

In the popliteal fossa the nerve gives off branches to gastrocnemius, popliteus, soleus and plantaris muscles, an articular branch to the knee joint, and a cutaneous branch that will become the sural nerve.

The plantaris muscle in the foot which helped our ancestors grab and manipulate objects like chimps do, has adapted to its new evolutionary role appropriately, becoming so underdeveloped that it cannot grip or grab anything, the foot has grown more elongated as a result and now 9% of humans are born without it.
