Does the lateral group of muscles extend towards the hallus or the fifth toe?
The lateral group of muscles primarily extends towards the fifth toe. These muscles, including the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis, are responsible for eversion of the foot and assist in stabilizing the ankle. They do not extend toward the hallux (big toe), which is primarily served by the muscles in the medial group.
Muscles involved in stepping up a step?
The main muscles involved in stepping up a step are the quadriceps (front of the thigh) which extend the knee and the gluteus maximus (buttocks) which extend the hip. The hamstrings (back of the thigh) also play a role in stabilizing the movement. Additionally, the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) help with pushing off the ground.

What muscles do you use to point your toes?
Pointing your toes primarily involves the muscles in the back of the lower leg, such as the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) and the muscles along the top of the foot (dorsiflexors). These muscles work together to extend and flex the ankle, allowing you to point your toes.
Which muscles extend or straighten a body part?
Extensor muscles extend or straighten a body part.
An inability to extend the leg would result from a loss of function of what nerve?
An inability to extend the leg would result from a loss of function of the common peroneal nerve, a branch of the sciatic nerve. This nerve provides motor function to the muscles that extend the leg and dorsiflex the foot. Injury or compression of the common peroneal nerve can lead to weakness or paralysis in these muscles, resulting in difficulty extending the leg.

Most of the muscles of the body are exercised when running. Of course the foot and leg muscles are needed the most but the muscles of the torso and upper body are used as well.

What is the official name of the calve muscle?
I would spell this "calf" muscle - the plural is calves, but the singular is calf (in fact, calfs is coming into common usage in agriculture.) The large muscles at the top of the calf are the gastrocmenius, the muscles that extend the foot. The soleus are the flat, broader muscles that are underneath the gastrocnemius.
