tor, and the other to the abductor pollieis, and is inserted
with the tendons of those muscles into the external sesamoid
bone and root of the first joint of the great toe, which it
bends.
Aeductor pollicis pedis.— Calco-sub-phalangeus pollieis.
Thenar.—Arises by short tendinous fibres from the inner and
lower part of the os calcis, and is inserted tendinous into the
internal sesamoid bone and root of the first joint of the great
toe. Its use is to pull the great toe from the rest.
Adductor poi.licis pedis. — Metatarso-sub-phalangcus
pollicis. Antithenar.—Arises by a long delicate tendon from
the ligament extending from the os calcis to the os cuboides,
soon divides into two fleshy heads, which again unite, and g©
obliquely inwards to be inseited into the sesamoid bone, or
first bone of the great toe. Its use is to bring this toe nearer
to the rest.
Abductor minimi digiti pedis.— Calco-sub-phalangeus
minimi digiti.—A slender muscle lying on the outside of the
foot. It arises from the tuberosity of the os calcis: it forms
two small tendons; the shorter one is inserted into the root
of the metatarsal bone of the little toe, and the longer goes
on to be fixed into the root of the first bone of that toe. Its
use is to bend the little toe, and carry it somewhat out-
wards, and to support the tarsus in walking.
Flexor brevis minimi digiti pedis.—Tarso-snb~ph&-
langeus minimi digiti. Pavathenar minor.—A very small mus-
cle, arising from the metatarsal bone of the little toe, which it
goes over, to be inserted into the root of the first bone of the
little toe. Its use is to bend this toe.
Trans vers a lis pedis.—Dlctatarso-sub-phalangnts. Trans-
versalis pedis.—This muscle extends transversely across the
sole of the foot, arising from the ligament which connect*
