Plantar nerve: anatomy and functions

The plantar nerve is part of the nervous system of the human body. This is one of the peripheral nerves in the foot area (foot - lower part of the leg). Its source is the sciatic nerve, which passes through the buttocks and down the back of the thigh to the foot. In general, the planofoot consists of three areas: the toes, the sole and the base of the foot. An important function of the plantar nerve is to provide mobility to the foot and provide balance.

Anatomy of the plantar zone The plantar zone consists of five bones: calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, 4 main joints and 8 plantar muscles. Bones and joints are formed where they meet in the foot. Over time, the small bones of the foot are worn away by constant contact with a hard surface. When this happens, a small section of the bone peels away. This process is called plantar growth or plantar cones.

Structure and structure of plantar nerves Most fibers of plantar nerves begin in the cerebral cortex and spinal cord. As they pass through a series of different sections of the nervous system, they gradually diverge and different sections of nerve fibers are located in different areas of the body. Some of these fibers enter the head, arms and shoulder girdle and other parts of the lower limb. But the terminal endings of the planar nerves surround the foot area
