which nerve supplies the muscles for ankle plantarflexion?
femoral nerve
tibial nerve
peroneal nerve

view hint for question 7
Ankle plantarflexion (pointing the foot downward) is controlled by muscles in the posterior compartment of the lower leg. The tibial nerve, a branch of the sciatic nerve, innervates these posterior compartment muscles responsible for this movement. The femoral nerve supplies anterior thigh muscles, the peroneal nerve controls dorsiflexion/eversion, and the obturator nerve supplies medial thigh muscles.
