The human body is quite flexible and plastic. Such mobility is ensured primarily by the presence of joints in our body. It is the joints that provide the skeleton of a person with mobility, the ability to sit down, bend the hand, leg, fingers, etc.
The most important joint in the human body is the ankle. He acts as a support, if we talk about the lower extremities, while the weight of the whole body “presses” the weight of the whole body during sports, running and even simple walking.
Joints, muscles, vessels of the ankle joint
The GS consists of bones, muscles, ligaments, cartilage and, of course, the blood vessels surrounding it.
As mentioned earlier, the joint consists not only of the bones. Muscles and ligaments play an equally important role in its functioning.
So, the ankle joint consists of the following muscles.
- The muscles that contribute to the bending of the foot. Here you can highlight:
- Muscles that contribute to extension of the foot. Here you can highlight:
- If we talk about the abduction and bringing of the foot, then the fibulas are involved - long, short.
- The ability of the foot to turn inward is provided by the short and long slower muscles, as well as the third fibula.
- The ability of the foot to turn to the outside is ensured by the anterior tibial muscle and a long extensor of the thumb.
- The muscles that ensure the movement of the fingers of the foot. In this process, long flexors and extensors of the fingers, as well as short muscles are involved.
As for the ligaments, the following can be distinguished:
The ligaments perform very important functions. Due to their presence, the joint functions correctly, they hold the bones among themselves and at the same time protect them, limiting the movement in the joint.
It is also worth noting the heel tendon, which is one of the largest in our body. This element of the joint performs the most important functions - promotes straightforwardness, softens our movements, allows the feet to move correctly.
Well, and, of course, one cannot but say about blood vessels, because it is they who feed the joint, providing it with all necessary for normal functioning.
The joint from all sides is covered by the front and posterior unlice and tibia arteries. Venous blood flows through the vessels that are combined into the berets.
The ankle joint is the most important construction element of the body, because it provides us with the opportunity to walk normally, play sports, etc. Despite its importance, the joint is quite prone to damage, so you need to react in time to pain in it.
