MUSCLES OF THE LEG AND FOOT

The =peroneus tertius= resembles that of the ox, but its tendon is not

perforated by that of the tibialis anterior, and ends on the inner

(second) large metatarsal bone, detaching a strong branch to the first

and second tarsal bones.

The =tibialis anterior= arises on the tibial crest. Its tendon passes

over the hock along the inner border of the tendon of the peroneus

tertius (both being bound down by an annular ligament), and is inserted

into the inner (second) metatarsal and first tarsal bones.
