Across
  1. 5. a small muscle located in the lateral compartment of the lower leg. It plays a role in foot movements, particularly eversion and plantar flexion.
  2. 6. Wookie co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon
  3. 7. a small muscle in the posterior compartment of the lower leg that assists in plantarflexion at the ankle and flexion at the knee
  4. 10. a muscle in the anterior compartment of the lower leg that extends the big toe (hallux) and helps dorsiflex the foot at the ankle
  5. 11. Originates from the posterior surface of the fibula
  6. 12. a small muscle located at the back of the knee joint that acts as a key stabilizer and is involved in knee movement
  7. 13. a muscle in the lateral (outside) compartment of the lower leg that originates from the fibula and inserts on the first metatarsal and medial cuneiform bones in the foot
  8. 14. a broad muscle in the lower calf, below the gastrocnemius, that flexes the foot to point the toes downward.
Down
  1. 1. a muscle in the front of the lower leg that extends the lateral four toes and dorsiflexes the foot at the ankle
  2. 2. a muscle in the anterior compartment of the leg, located on the outer side of the ankle, that helps to dorsiflex (lift) and evert (turn outward) the foot
  3. 3. Originates from the posterior surface of the tibia and fibula, and the interosseous membrane
  4. 4. calf muscle
  5. 8. a deep muscle in the posterior compartment of the lower leg that flexes the second, third, fourth, and fifth toes
  6. 9. connects the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the heel bone (calcaneus).
