What nerve root tests ankle plantar flexion and eversion?
Plantar flexion is performed by the muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, eg gastronemius (mainly) and soleus; other muscles such as plantaris have a weak contribution. The spinal roots are S1 and S2 fibers of the posterior tibial nerve.
Foot eversion is performed by the fibularis longus and brevis (both in the lateral compartment of the leg). They are supplied by the superficial peroneal nerve (L5, S1).
Direction in which the muscle fibers run relative to some imaginary line?
These muscle fibers are said to be lateral.

Muscles form by being torn (soreness) and then they are rebuilt with proteins and are larger.
Is one of the important functions of skeletal muscle is to generate heat?
Yes; generating heat is among the functions of skeletal muscle. When skeletal muscle contract, it uses energy (from ATP) obtained from food, during the breakdown of ATP, heat is produced. Some of the heat is released to maintain body temperature and some is used to warm the muscles and surrounding tissues.
What muscles are included in the quadriceps femoris group?
vastus lateralis, vastus medilis, vastus intermeduis
What are three places where skeletal muscles can be found?
Skeletal muscles can be found all over the body - the biceps, the triceps, the abdominals, the hamstrings, etc.
Are sodium and potassium the final go signal in muscle contraction?
an increase in intracellular calcium ion levels
Is surgery or therapy necessary for a small tear in rotator cuff?
If you have a tear than yes you may need to have surgery. The longer that it is put off the worse the condition can get. If it is a pulled muscle then no but with a tear yes... It could turn into something more serious if it is avoided...
How does sea glass get smooth?
Sea glass gets smooth from the constant motion of the glass tumbling against the sand and force of the waves resulting in a smooth texture. You will notice pitting of the sea glass and a frosted finish with each piece which truly represents genuine natural sea glass. This process takes several years and a long journey in the ocean to deliver such a beautiful sea glass gem.

The Vastus Lateralis is part of which muscle group?
The vastus lateralis is one of the quadricep muscles. The quadriceps are comprised of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis and vastus intermedius. The vastus lateralis is in the anterior portion of the thigh and is lateral.
