    Anatomy of the Foot

    Skin
    Skin is the bodies largest organ and
    made up of multiple layers.
    Functions : protecting the body against
    the environment, insulation,
    temperature regulation and sensation.
    Skin is divided into 3 main layers:
    Epidermis-outermost layer; visible
    Dermis-layer underneath epidermis
    Hypodermis- also called the
    subcutaneous tissue, used for fat
    storage.

    Plantar Skin
    Plantar skin is the integument that covers the soles of the
    feet of humans.
    Plantar skin is relatively thick, greatly keratinized, hairless,
    and filled with a dense collection of sweat glands.
    The thickness of the skin at the soles (and palms) is 3.5 mm
    1.5 mm at the epidermis layer .
    Plantar skin is well designed to protect the feet from injury.

    Subcutaneus tissue
    Unique fibroseptal structures
    (fibroadipose) together with dense
    subcutaneus tissue server as a
    cushion and provider great
    resistance against shearing force
    during walking.

    Plantar Aponeurosis
    Thickned band of deep facia in the
    sole of the foot.
    1. Posterior: Medial tubercle of
    calcaneus.
    2. Anterior: Divides into 5 slips which
    pass to the 5 toes.
    3. On each side: attached to the
    metatarsal bone by medial and
    lateral intermusculer septa.
    Function: protects the underlying
    nerve and vassel.

    Layers of the Sole


    The muscles of the sole are conveniently described in four
    layers from the inferior layer superiorly.
    1. First layer: abductor hallucis, flexor digitorum brevis,
    abductor digiti minimi.
    2. Second layer: quadratus plantae, lumbricals, flexor
    digitorum longus tendon, flexor hallucis longus tendon.
    3. Third layer: flexor hallucis brevis, adductor hallucis and
    flexor digiti minimi brevis.
    4. Fourth layer: interossei, peroneus longus tendon and
    tibialis posterior tendon.

    Ekstensor Digitorum

    Tibialis Artery

    Medial and Lateral Plantar Artery

    Dorsalis Pedis Artery


    Medial and Lateral tarsal artery
    Arcuate artery
    Dorsal Metatarsal artery :
    1.

    Medial branch.

    2.

    Lateral branch.

    Plantar Metatarsal artery.

    Sensory Nerve Supply of The Skin Dorsum


    of The Foot

    Superficial peroneal nerve :


    Deep peroneal nerve
    Saphenous nerve.
    Sural nerve.

    The Sensory nerve supply to the skin of the


    sole of the foot
    Medial calcaneal branch of the tibial nerve.
    Medial plantar nerve.
    Lateral plantar nerve.

    and phalanges (14)

    Toenail
    The main function of the toenail is to provide protection
    to toes. The nail unit is composed of the nail plate, nail
    matrix, and cuticle.
    The nail plate is composed of a translucent protein
    called keratin. The nail plate is porous to water and does
    not contain any blood vessels or nerves.
    The nail matrix is the nail root and the sole structure
    responsible for the formation and growth of the nail plate.
    The nail bed supports the nail plate in its contour, but it
    does not assist with the growth of the nail plate.
