Muscle Anatomy and Functions

Professor Long provides a comprehensive overview of the muscles in the leg, dividing the discussion into upper and lower leg muscles. The tutorial covers the adductor Magnus, gracilis, adductor longus, Sartorius, quadriceps group, tensor fasciae latae, and the iliotibial tract. The lower leg section includes the tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, fibularis longus, gastrocnemius, soleus, and the Achilles tendon. The video concludes with a look at the foot's flexor digitorum and plantar fascia.
