Question
4 matching 4 points match the origin to the correct muscle. condyles of femur - posterior surface gastrocnemius soleal line, posterior aspect of tibia and posterior aspect of head of fibula soleus head of fibula, proximal 2/3 of lateral tibia tibialis anterior distal 2/3 of the lateral fibula fibularis longus
The origin of a muscle is the attachment point that remains relatively fixed during muscle contraction. The gastrocnemius muscle originates from the condyles of the femur - posterior surface. The soleus muscle originates from the soleal line, posterior aspect of tibia and posterior aspect of head of fibula. The tibialis anterior muscle originates from the head of fibula, proximal 2/3 of lateral tibia. The fibularis longus muscle originates from the distal 2/3 of the lateral fibula. These are well - known anatomical facts about muscle origins.
