| plantar muscle | <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.

| plantar muscle reflex | Flicking the tops of the toes from the plantar surface causes flexion of the toes; a stretch reflex of the flexors of the toes seen in lesions of the pyramidal tracts. See: Starling's reflex. Synonym: plantar muscle reflex, Rossolimo's sign. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: musculus flexor accessorius, musculus quadratus plantae, accessory flexor muscle of foot, caro quadrata sylvii, musculus pronator pedis, plantar quadrate muscle, quadrate muscle of sole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plantar reflex | The response to tactile stimulation of the ball of the foot, normally plantar flexion of the toes; the pathologic response is Babinski's sign. Synonym: sole reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |

| proper plantar digital artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the digital branches of the plantar metatarsal arteries. Synonym: arteria digitalis plantaris propria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| proper plantar digital nerves | The ten nerves derived from the common plantar digital nerves; each nerve supplies a plantar quadrant of a toe and part of the dorsal surface of the distal phalanx. Synonym: nervi digitales plantares proprii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep branch of the lateral plantar nerve | <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) |
| deep branch of the medial plantar artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch running deep to abductor hallucis, supplying it and the flexor hallucis brevis muscle deep to the artery and the skin of the medial side of the distal foot. Synonym: rami profundi arteriae circumflexae femoris medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
