What is the name of the antagonist to extensor hallucis longus?
flexor hallucis longus, flexor hallucis brevis
What do you call the tendons that run along the bottom of your foot?
There a lot of tendons on the plantar side of the foot. Off the top of my head... Tendon of the flexor digitorum longus Tendon of the flexor digitorum brevis Tendon of the flexor hallucis longus Tendon of the flexor hallucis brevis Tendon of the flexor digiti minimi brevis Tendon of the fibularis longus Tendon of the tibialis posterior Tendons of the lumbricals Tendons of the plantar interosseous muscles Tendon of the abductor hallucis Tendon of the adductor hallucis Tendon of the abductor digiti minimi There are also a bunch of ligaments.
Inverts and dorsiflexes the foot?
Peroneus tertius Action's : dorsiflexes and everts foot Extensor Digitorium Longus's Action: prime mover of toe extension; dorsiflexes foot
What are the bones of the toes called?
The bones of the visibly independent Toes (or Digits) are called the Phalangees (sig. Phalanx). The are named 1 to 5 starting at the Hallucis (big toe) and ending at the pinky toe. There are three boned in each digit (apart from the hallucis); the Proximal Phalanxe attaches to the Metatarsal of the toe; the Distal Phalanx is the tip of the toe (the one that hase the tow nai over it); the Middle Phalanxe is in between and is the oe mising from the hallucis. The joints between the proximal and middle and the middle and distal phalangees are Synnovial Hinge type and so only alow flextion and extension. The Joints between the metatarsals and the proximal phalangees are Synnovial Condyloid and so also allow some Abduction and Adductiuon. The metatarsals re usually considered to be foot bones but they could also be said to be toe bones. They are long thin bones that lie within the foot and do not appear to be separate from the outside.
Where is the distal region of the big toe?
The latinate name for the big toe is the Hallucis(Hal-oo-shis), or, more commonly when speaking of one big toe, the hallux. The bones within it are rather unexciting, there are only three. The first is the first metacarpal bone. Each toe has a metatarsal and these are what make up most of the length of your feet. They are not very visible separately in an intact toe as they are all bound under the same skin.The other two bones in each toe are called the phalangesas as collection. These bones are in the part that is visibly a separate toe. The one closest to the foot, joining directly to the metacarpal is the proximal phalanx. Then the distal phalanx is the next one. In the other toes there is a medial (middle) phalanx, between the proximal and distal phalanges. That is the traditional nomenclature.However, this whole issue was humorously resolved back in 1991 by a med student who offered formal Latinate names for every toe based on the "Little Piggy" rhyme. John Phillips, then a fourth-year med student at Yale, published these in a letter to the NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE published February 14, 1991. The "p." stands for "porcellus."- porcellus fori (big toe), translation: little pig at market- p. domi (second toe); translation: baby pig at home- p. carnivorus (third toe), translation: meat-eating piglet- p. nonvoratus (fourth digit) translation: small pig that has not eaten- p. plorans domum (smallest toe) translation: piggy crying all the way homeThe text of the 18th-century rhyme, which parents still use when playing with their little children's toes, starting by wiggling the hallux and then each smaller toe in turn:This little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home. This little piggy had roast beef, This little piggy had none. And this little piggy cried "Wee! Wee! Wee!" all the way home.See the whole article re Phillips' new names at the Little Piggy link below.

What flexes the great toe and inverts the ankle?

What is the muscle in your toe called?
There are seven muscles that control the toes. The "big toe" is controlled by the flexor hallucis longus, the flexor hallucis brevis and the abductor hallucis. The three middle toes are controlled by the flexor digitorum brevis and the extensor digitorum brevis. The last and smallest toe is controlled by the flexor digiti minimi and the abductor digiti minimi.
