- D.
Both a and c
- E.
Both b and c
Correct Answer
E. Both b and cExplanation
The correct answer is both b and c. The attachments of the long plantar ligaments include the deep part of the cuboid and the superficial part to the base of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metatarsals (distally). Additionally, the ligaments attach to the plantar surface of the calcaneum distal to the tubercles (proximally). Therefore, both options b and c are correct as they include the correct attachments of the long plantar ligaments.Rate this question:

- C.
Proximal phalanx of hallux
- D.
Lateral side of the base of the proximal phalanx
Correct Answer
C. Proximal phalanx of halluxExplanation
The extensor hallucis brevis muscle is responsible for extending the big toe. It originates from the medial side of the foot and inserts onto the proximal phalanx of the hallux (big toe). Therefore, the correct answer is "proximal phalanx of hallux", as it accurately describes the insertion point of the extensor hallucis brevis muscle.Rate this question:

- C.
Medial side of base of proximal phalanx of hallus
- D.
Base of the proximal phalanx
Correct Answer
A. Lateral side of the base of proximal phalanx of the halluxExplanation
The adductor hallucis muscle inserts on the lateral side of the base of the proximal phalanx of the hallux (big toe). This means that the muscle attaches to the outer side of the base of the big toe's proximal phalanx. It does not insert on the base of the 5th proximal phalanx or the base of the proximal phalanx in general.Rate this question:
