The tibialis anterior is a muscle that spans the length of the tibia. It originates in the upper two-thirds of the lateral surface of the tibia and inserts into the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal bones of the foot. Its acts to dorsiflex and invert the foot. A top-down view of skeletal muscle Muscle is a contractile form of tissue. ... In human anatomy, the tibia or shin bone is the larger of the two bones in the leg below the knee. ... Cuneiform (from the Latin word for wedge-shaped) can refer to: Mesopotamian clay tablet 492 BCE, Field Museum of Natural History,Chicago, Illinois. ... The metatarsus consists of the five long bones of the foot, which are numbered from the medial side (ossa metatarsalia I.-V.); each presents for examination a body and two extremities. ...

Muscle biopsies were obtained from the tibialisanterior of 9 patients with chronic peripheral arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremities, before and after aortofemoral bypass, in order to evaluate the extent and type of muscle fibre changes during ischemia and after revascularization.
During reperfusion of the acutely ischemic tibialisanterior of rabbits, the deep peroneal nerve's conduction was impaired and the action potential was abolished [29].
The proportion of type I fibres of the ischemic tibialisanterior increased to 66.2% after reperfusion (Table 3), a number closer to that reported for normal subjects [8,13,22-24], whereas the proportion of type II fibres proportionally decreased (Table 3), eventhough these changes in proportions of fibre types were not statistically significant.
The "extensor hallucis longus" are muscles used in extending the toe; the "flexor hallucis longus" are used in flexing it and moving it to the side.
A flexor muscle is one which decreases the angle between two bones, as in bending the arm at the elbow; raising the leg toward the stomach as in kicking a football; or bringing the lower leg up toward the thigh.
The lumbrical muscles are four small, fleshy muscles that are associated with tendons between the four small toes of the foot and the four fingers of the hand.
