| interosseous metatarsal ligaments | Fibrous bands that connect the bases of the metatarsals; they extend between the dorsal and plantar metatarsal ligaments. Synonym: ligamenta metatarsalia interossea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interosseous metatarsal spaces | The spaces between the metatarsal bones in the foot. Synonym: spatia interossea metatarsi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transverse metatarsal ligament | <anatomy> The ligament that interconnects the plantar surface of the heads of the metatarsals, being continuous with the plantar ligaments. Synonym: ligamentum metatarsale transversum profundum, transverse metatarsal ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberosity of fifth metatarsal | A tubercle at the base of this bone to the posterior part of which is attached the tendon of the peroneus brevis muscle. Synonym: tuberositas ossis metatarsalis quinti. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tuberosity of first metatarsal | A tubercle at the base of the bone to which is attached the tendon of the peroneus longus muscle. Synonym: tuberositas ossis metatarsalis primi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory plantar ligaments | The counterparts in the foot of the palmar ligaments in the hand. Synonym: ligamenta plantaria, accessory plantar ligaments, Cruveilhier's ligaments, glenoid ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial plantar artery | <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) |
| medial plantar nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the two terminal branches of the tibial nerve; it courses along the medial aspect of the sole to supply the abductor hallucis and flexor digitorum brevis and, by way of common and proper digital branches, to innervate the skin of the medial part of the foot and medial three and one-half toes. Synonym: nervus plantaris medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common plantar digital artery | <anatomy, artery> One of four arteries arising from a superficial plantar arch, when present as a variation. They unite with the plantar metatarsal arteries. Synonym: arteria digitalis plantaris communis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common plantar digital nerves | Three nerves derived from the medial plantar and one from the lateral plantar that supply the skin overlying the metatarsals and terminate as proper plantar digital nerves to the side of each toe. Synonym: nervi digitales plantares communes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plantar | <anatomy> Of or pertaining to the sole of the foot; as, the plantar arteries. Origin: L. Plantaris, fr. Planta the sole of the foot. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| plantar aponeurosis | The very thick, central portion of the fascia investing the plantar muscles; it radiates toward the toes from the medial process of the calcaneal tuberosity and gives attachment to the short flexor muscle of the toes. Synonym: aponeurosis plantaris, plantar fascia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plantar arch | The arterial arch formed by the lateral plantar artery running across the bases of the metatarsal bones and anastomosing with the dorsal pedis artery, either of two bony arch's of the foot, longitudinal arch or transverse arch. See: medial longitudinal arch of foot, lateral longitudinal arch of foot, transverse arch of foot. Synonym: arcus plantaris, plantar arterial arch. (05 Mar 2000) |
