58 CULPEPER’s ENGLISH PHYSICIAN, 
_ The foot, or inftep, has eight mufcles. 1. Tibieus anticus, itis fattened to the leg, 
and arifes near the fibula, and, cleaving tothe tibia all along, it degenerates into a 
tendon, which beneath the-ring-like ligament of the foot is divided into two tendons, 
2. Peroneus anticus, joined to the peroneus pofticus, andhas its rife with two heads, one 
from the middle and external part of the perone or fmaller focile; the other from 
the upper epiphyfis of the fibula : thefe, being carried through the chink of the ancle, 
terminate in a double tendon, the fmaller of which is carried into the bone of the 
little toe ; the greater running obliquely under the fole of the foot. 3. Gemellus exter. 
nus ; this has two heads ; they both arife from under the ham, the one from the in- - 
ner, the other from the outward, parts of the end of the thigh-bone, and pafs down 
the back partof theleg, then become tendinous, and, being united, make one 
_ ftrong, broad, and nervous, tendon, whichis inferted into the heel. 4. Gemellus inter. 
nus, this with the other conftitutes the ancle, and lies under: the former, of a livid 
colour; it arifes under the ham, by a ftrong nervous fubftance ; having paffed the 
middle of the tibia, it becomes narrower and tendinous : it is inferted into the heel, 
Fhefe make the belly or calf of the leg. 5. Soleus, it is a broad and thick mufcle 
arifing from the upper and hindermore appendix of the fibula, and is ‘inferted by a 
tendon into the heel. 6. Tibieus pofticus adducens pedem, it arifes from the upper part 
of the tibia, or greater and fmaller focile, and from che ligament which ties them to- 
gether, runs along the tibia, and through the cleft of the ancle-bone, were it produ- 
ces twotendons. 7. Poroneus pofticus, it arifesfrom the upper but hinder part of the 
{mall focile, by a nervous and ftrong beginning, and, cleaving to the outfide of the 
perone, it runs down round and flefhy : it is inferted under the fole of the foot, into 
the bone fet before thé great toe. 8. Plantaris covers the whole fole of the foot; and, — 
fpringing from the outer part of the thigh-bone under the ham, byaround and fefhy 
beginning, paffing within the leg, between the gemelli, it goes thence to the fole, 
and is inferted into the five toes. | | 
‘ Phe great toe has-five mufcles, 1. Primus, or flexor pollicis, arifes from the upper 
part of the fibula, andis infertedinto the third joint of the greattoe. 2. Secundus, oF 
extenfor pollicis, arifes from the middle of the fibula, or from the outfide of the tibia, 
_ where itis feparate from the fibula, creeps along the furface of the foot, and ends in 
two tendons, the one. of which is inferted into the upper fide, the other into the 
lower fide, of the great toe. 3. Tertius pollicis, adduétor primus, that which: draws the 
toe inward, and fprings from the ligament which ties the heel-bone and the # - z 
faftened inwardly tothe bone fet before the great toe, and by a round’ censon 
ferted into thefirft joint of thefame. 4. Quartus pollicis, adduitor fecundus, it arifes 
from the ligament of the firft interjunéture of the little toe, then, becoming gee
