It is inserted into the enlarged base of the fifth metatarsal on its peroneal side, and into the fascia passing from that bone to the plantar ossicle. Tibialis anticus (figs. 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, & 26, T. A). This muscle is placed quite on the inner aspect of the leg. It arises from the front of the tibia as high up as immediately beneath the origin of the extensor longus digitorum-also from the inner border of the tibia, from the bottom of the internal lateral ligament down to the summit of the inner malleolus, and a little even from the lower part of the posterior surface of the tibia, below the bottom of the insertion of the popliteus. It is inserted into the tibial side of the distal part of the dorsum of the first metatarsal. The extensor longus digitorum (figs. 2, 17, 18, 19, 25, & 26, E. L) is a thick and fleshy mass passing down the middle of the front of the leg. It arises by a strong though narrow tendon from the front of the femur, just tibiad of the peroneal articular surface-also by muscular fibres from the front of the tibia, just peronead of the origin of the tibialis anticus. It is inserted into the distal part of the dorsum of the third metatarsal. Fig. 28. Fig. 29. *!-Zr. JF.Z>.Z 1?,J}. * Fig. 28.-Diagram of flexor tendons of right manus. F. D.
