Abductor hallucis muscle the base of the first proximal phalanx and its related sesamoid bone. Its medial surface is superficial and covered with the muscle's fascia and the skin. Abductor hallucis is innervated by the medial plantar nerve. The nerves that supply it enter the muscle from its upper border. The deep tendon reflex of the abductor hallucis. was first described and demonstrated by Dr. M. W. Spanakos. Abductor hallucis muscle The abductor hallucis muscle is an intrinsic muscle of the foot. It participates in the abduction and flexion of the great toe. The abductor hallucis muscle is located in the medial border
Muscle muscle cells (myocytes), and each cell is encased within its own endomysium of collagen fibers. Thus, the overall muscle consists of fibers (cells) that are bundled into fascicles, which are themselves grouped together to form muscles. At each level of bundling, a collagenous membrane surrounds the bundle, and these membranes support muscle function both by resisting passive stretching of the tissue and by distributing forces applied to the muscle. Scattered throughout the muscles are muscle spindles that provide sensory feedback information to the central nervous system. (This grouping structure is analogous to the organization of nerves which uses epineurium, perineurium,
