Well it doesn't actually carry food down there. The blood carries nutrients and oxygen to your extremities through capillaries. These are very tiny veins that branch off from the veins connected to your arteries. When you prick your finger or toe the blood that comes out is actually from one of these capillaries.
The main action of the flexor hallucis longus muscle is to flex the big toe and help in plantar flexion of the ankle joint. It also contributes to support the arch of the foot and assists in propulsion during walking and running.
No, a single cell cannot stretch that far in the human body. The human body is made up of trillions of cells that work together to perform various functions, but individual cells are microscopic and do not extend from the spine to the toe.
No, the toe commonly referred to as the "index toe" is actually the second toe on the foot. The first toe is called the big toe or hallux.
A big toe typically contains tens of thousands of cells, which include various types such as skin cells, nerve cells, muscle cells, and blood cells. The exact number can vary depending on factors like the individual's age and health.
No, the second toe is commonly referred to as the "long toe" or "pointer toe." The term "index toe" is not a widely recognized or anatomically correct term.
Gastrocnemius
The respiratory system gets the oxygen it needs and the circulatory system bring the oxygen along with many other products in the blood to the toe. The digestive system helps obtain nutrients for the toe which the blood brings as part of the circulatory system.
from head to toe every muscle in our body.
Yep! Your foot has tons of little muscles in it. It can happen a lot during exercise-especially swimming where you foot is rotating and contorting a good deal.
kinda obvious... abductor digiti minimi
There are two: the extensor digitorum (toes) brevis muscle and the extensor hallucis (big toe) brevis muscle.
The farther away you move from the heart, speed slows. The arteries narrow, eventually branching into arterioles. (smallest artery). The blood vessels are so tiny that you and the other red blood cells have to squeeze through in single file. These are the capillaries. In the capillary you give up the oxygen molecule you've been carrying since the trip from the lungs. The oxygen moves out through the capillary walls and enters the cells of your big toe. There, the oxygen is used to release energy from food. That energy keeps the cells of your big toe alive. After oxygen is released a molecule of carbon dioxide is received, a waste product created from the energy releasing activities of those same toe cells.
The ankle bends two ways, anterior (up) and posterior (down), so it depends. The bend the ankle down (point the toe), the gastrocnemius muscle (calf) must contract. To bend the ankle up (lift the toe) the tibialis anterior muscle must contract.
MgO2
Mainly ligament and muscle strains, with the odd fractured toe, finger or bruising
Genetic material is in DNA. DNA can be found in every cell in the body....including your toe!
toe jam! haha
