Tibialis anterior muscle
In human anatomy, the tibialis anterior is a muscle in the shin that spans the length of the tibia. It originates in the upper two-thirds of the lateral surface of the tibia and inserts into the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal bones of the foot. Its acts to dorsiflex and invert the foot.
It is situated on the lateral side of the tibia; it is thick and fleshy above, tendinous below.
This muscle overlaps the anterior tibial vessels and deep peroneal nerve in the upper part of the leg.
