Medial plantar muscles of the foot (3D)

This video tutorial explores the anatomy and functions of three medial plantar muscles of the foot: the abductor hallucis, flexor hallucis brevis, and adductor hallucis. It discusses their origins, insertions, and roles in foot movement, particularly focusing on the big toe. The video also covers the nerve supply to these muscles and their importance in supporting the foot's arches. The tutorial concludes with a recap of the muscles' functions and their significance in foot mechanics.

Identify the layers of the plantar muscles and where the abductor hallucis is located.

What are the anatomical variations noted in the flexor hallucis brevis muscle?

What is the significance of the longitudinal arch of the foot, and how do the plantar muscles support it?

Summarize the functions of the three medial plantar muscles discussed in the video.
