Across
- 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.
- 6. Wookie co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon
- 7. a small muscle in the posterior compartment of the lower leg that assists in plantarflexion at the ankle and flexion at the knee
- 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
- 11. Originates from the posterior surface of the fibula
- 12. a small muscle located at the back of the knee joint that acts as a key stabilizer and is involved in knee movement
- 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
- 14. a broad muscle in the lower calf, below the gastrocnemius, that flexes the foot to point the toes downward.
Down
- 1. a muscle in the front of the lower leg that extends the lateral four toes and dorsiflexes the foot at the ankle
- 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. Originates from the posterior surface of the tibia and fibula, and the interosseous membrane
- 4. calf muscle
- 8. a deep muscle in the posterior compartment of the lower leg that flexes the second, third, fourth, and fifth toes
- 9. connects the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the heel bone (calcaneus).
