The abductor digiti minimi (abductor minimi digiti, abductor digiti quinti) is a muscle which lies along the lateral (outer) border of the foot, and is in relation by its medial margin with the lateral plantar artery, vein and nerves.

Flexor hallucis longus muscle

The flexor hallucis longus muscle (FHL) attaches to the plantar surface of phalanx of the great toe and is responsible for flexing that toe. The FHL is one of the three deep muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, the others being the flexor digitorum longus and the tibialis posterior. The tibialis posterior is the most powerful of these deep muscles.

Gastrocnemius muscle

The gastrocnemius muscle (plural gastrocnemii) is a superficial two-headed muscle that is in the back part of the lower leg of humans.

See Sacral spinal nerve 2 and Gastrocnemius muscle

Gemelli muscles

The gemelli muscles are the inferior gemellus muscle and the superior gemellus muscle, two small accessory fasciculi to the tendon of the internal obturator muscle.

Gluteus maximus

The gluteus maximus is the main extensor muscle of the hip in humans.

Obturator internus muscle

The internal obturator muscle or obturator internus muscle originates on the medial surface of the obturator membrane, the ischium near the membrane, and the rim of the pubis.

See Sacral spinal nerve 2 and Obturator internus muscle

Piriformis muscle

The piriformis muscle is a flat, pyramidally-shaped muscle in the gluteal region of the lower limbs.

See Sacral spinal nerve 2 and Piriformis muscle

Quadratus plantae muscle

The quadratus plantae (flexor accessorius) is separated from the muscles of the first layer by the lateral plantar vessels and nerve.

Sacrum

The sacrum (sacra or sacrums), in human anatomy, is a large, triangular bone at the base of the spine that forms by the fusing of the sacral vertebrae (S1S5) between ages 18 and 30.

Semitendinosus muscle

The semitendinosus is a long superficial muscle in the back of the thigh.

Spinal cord

The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular structure made up of nervous tissue that extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column (backbone) of vertebrate animals.

See Sacral spinal nerve 2 and Spinal cord

Spinal nerve

A spinal nerve is a mixed nerve, which carries motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body. Sacral spinal nerve 2 and spinal nerve are spinal nerves.

See Sacral spinal nerve 2 and Spinal nerve

Urethral sphincters

The urethral sphincters are two muscles used to control the exit of urine in the urinary bladder through the urethra.

See Sacral spinal nerve 2 and Urethral sphincters

Vertebral column

The vertebral column, also known as the spinal column, spine or backbone, is the core part of the axial skeleton in vertebrate animals.
