Popliteus muscle the ankle. The gastrocnemius muscle acts on both joints. It originates from the lateral surface of the lateral condyle of femur by a rounded tendon, the fibers pass downward and medially and give insertion to the posterior surface of tibia, above the soleal line. The muscle arises within the capsule of knee joint and its tendon separates the lateral meniscus from the lateral ligament of the joint. Nerve supply is via the tibial nerve from spinal roots L5 and S1. There is sometimes an additional head from the sesamoid bone in the lateral (outer) head of the gastrocnemius muscle. Rarely
Trapezium (bone) tubercle found on the anterior surface of the bone. It is where sometimes abductor pollicis brevis muscle attaches. The carpal bones function as a unit to provide a bony superstructure for the hand. The trapezium is the most radial of the bones surrounding the carpal tunnel. It is important in thumb movement. The trapezium is susceptible to arthritis at the joint with the metacarpal bone of the thumb, due to overuse. The etymology derives from the Greek "trapezion" which means "a little table", from "trapeza" meaning "table", itself from "(te)tra-" "four" and "pod-" "foot". The bone was first documented in
