| dorsal interosseous muscles of foot | Four muscles in the foot; origin, from sides of adjacent metatarsal bones; insertion, first into medial, second into lateral side of proximal phalanx of second toe, third and fourth into lateral side of proximal phalanx of third and fourth toes; action, abduct toes 2-4 from an axis through the second toe; nerve supply, lateral plantar. Synonym: musculi interossei dorsalis pedis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal interosseous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The deep terminal branch of the radial nerve, arises in the cubital region, penetrating and supplying the supinator and continuing with the posterior interosseous artery to supply all the extensor muscles in the forearm.
