Anterior Leg Compartment | Origins, Insertions, & More

The video tutorial by Kevin Tolkoff covers the anatomy of the anterior compartment of the lower leg, explaining its separation from other compartments by connective tissue structures like the anterior intermuscular septum and interosseous membrane. It highlights the benefits of compartmentalization in learning, as muscles in the same compartment share nerve innervation and blood supply. The video details the muscles in the anterior compartment, including tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius, and discusses the role of retinacula in preventing tendon bowing.
