: Short Answer
12. The tibia is limited in superior displacement by the femoral condyles. The fibula is limited in superior displacement by attachments to the tibia. Does this observation reflect the direction of fiber orientation in the interosseous membrane? Beginning with attachment at the tibia, fiber orientation of the interosseous membrane starts (blank) and courses (blank) in a (blank) direction toward the fibula. (The last two blanks are interchangeable).
superiorly (ascends from tibia to fibula) and courses inferiorly in an oblique direction toward the fibula
21. The tibial nerve is lesioned at the superior free edge of the soleus. Can the ankle still be flexed (plantar-flexed)? Explain?
thinking no because all plantar flexors are innverated by the tibial nerve
