| arteria metatarsea plantaris | <anatomy, artery> One of four branches of the plantar arterial arch that divide into plantar digital arteries to supply the toes. Synonym: arteria metatarsea plantaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria plantaris lateralis | <anatomy, artery> Larger of the two terminal branches of the posterior tibial; distribution, forms the plantar arch and through it supplies the sole of the foot and plantar surfaces of the toes; anastomoses, medial plantar, dorsalis pedis. Synonym: arteria plantaris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteria plantaris medialis | <anatomy, artery> One of the terminal branches of the posterior tibial; distribution, medial side of the sole of the foot; anastomoses, dorsalis pedis, lateral plantar. Synonym: arteria plantaris medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus plantaris profundus arteriae dorsalis pedis | <anatomy, artery> Deep plantar branch of arcuate artery or its first metatarsal artery branch which penetrates the foot between first and second metatarsal bones to anastomose with the termination of the plantar arterial arch. Synonym: ramus plantaris profundus arteriae dorsalis pedis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus profundus nervi plantaris lateralis | <anatomy, nerve> Motor branch of lateral plantar nerve supplying lumbricals 2-4, plantar and dorsal interossei, and the adductor hallucis muscles. Synonym: ramus profundus nervi plantaris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus superficialis arteriae plantaris medialis | <anatomy, artery> Gives rise to superficial digital arteries of medial three toes. Synonym: ramus superficialis arteriae plantaris medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus superficialis nervi plantaris lateralis | <anatomy, nerve> Mostly cutaneous branch to skin of small and lateral half of fourth toes and lateral side of sole of foot, but also supplies the flexor digiti minimi brevis muscle and the most lateral dorsal and plantar interosseous muscles. Synonym: ramus superficialis nervi plantaris lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| verruca plantaris | A wart on the sole, often painful; usually caused by human papilloma virus type 1. Synonym: verruca plantaris. Pointed wart, obsolete term for condyloma acuminatum. Postmortem wart, a tuberculous warty growth (tuberculosis cutis verrucosa) on the hand of one who performs postmortem examinations. Synonym: anatomical tubercle, anatomical wart, dissection tubercle, necrogenic wart, postmortem tubercle, prosector's tubercle, prosector's wart, verruca necrogenica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regio plantaris | An alternate term for sole of foot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plantaris | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral supracondylar ridge; insertion, medial margin of tendo achillis and deep fascia of ankle; action, traditionally described as plantar flexion of foot; many investigators now believe the plantaris muscle to be primarily a proprioceptive organ; nerve supply, tibial nerve. Synonym: musculus plantaris, musculus tibialis gracilis, plantar muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus plantaris | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral supracondylar ridge; insertion, medial margin of tendo achillis and deep fascia of ankle; action, traditionally described as plantar flexion of foot; many investigators now believe the plantaris muscle to be primarily a proprioceptive organ; nerve supply, tibial nerve.
