The anatomist's vade mecum : a system of human anatomy . os calcis; the inner slip being fleshy, the outer tendinous. The muscle is inserted into the outer side and upper surface of the tendon of the flexor longus digitorum. Relations.—By its superficial surface with the three muscles of the superficial layer, from which it is separated by their fascial sheaths, and with the external plantar vessels and nerves. By its deep surface with the under part of the os calcis and the long calcaneo-cuboid ligament. The Lumbricales (lumbricus, anearthworm) are four little muscles arisingfrom the tendons of the flexor longus digitorum at their point of bifurcation, and inserted into the expan-sion of the extensor tendons, and into the base of the first phalanxof the four lesser toes on their tibial aspect. Relations.—By theix superficial surface with the tendons of theflexor brevis digitorum. By their deep surface with the third layerof muscles of the sole of the foot. They pass between the digitalslips of the deep fascia to reach their * The third and a part of the second layer of muscles of the sole of the The divided edge of the plantar fascia. 2. The musculus The tendon of the flexor longus digitorum. 4. The tendon of the flexorlongus pollicis. 5. The flexor brevis pollicis. 6. The adductor The flexor brevis minimi digiti. 8. The transversus pedis. 9. Interosseimuscles, plantar and dorsal. 10. A convex ridge formed by the tendon of theperoneus longus muscle in its oblique course across the 274 MUSCLES OF THE SOLE OF THE FOOT. Third Layer. Flexor brevis pollicis,Flexor brevis minimi digiti,Transversus pedis. Dissection.—The tendons of the long flexors and the muscles con-nected with them must be removed, to see clearly tbe attachments ofthe third layer. The Flexor brevis pollicis arises by a pointed tendinous pro-cess from the side of the cuboid, the external cuneiform bone and theprolonged expansi
