What is Crus?

Latin word means "leg", crus is a lower leg segment. It is a crust in plural, it is an anatomical term that can refer to the lower leg itself or to another structure in the body, such as the shape of the legs such as Crura's heart and diaphragm, which are simply paired bundles of cells and fibers arranged in a linear pattern. Crus can also be known as a Gaiter, a term commonly used outside the anatomy to describe clothing worn over the lower leg in fishing, hiking, climbing or horseback riding. In general, however, Crus is used to describe either the entire lower leg or to refer to the structure contained, such as tibia and fibula bones.

Shank or lower leg is designed exclusively for locomotion and consists, under the skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue, 13 muscles, numerous nerves and blood vessels of the foot anoha and two main bones, tibia and fibula. As bigger of them, the tibia absorbs the prominentA more body weight between the knee and the ankle. It is a bone that is articulated with the thigh thigh - the only bone in the body that is larger than the tibia's knee joint, as well as the talus in the leg to form a majority part of the ankle. Next to the tibia is next to the tibia, a slightly smaller bone that connects to the tibia at its upper end and to a smaller part of the ankle at the lower end.

CRUS muscles are classified as a front or rear compartment of the foot, compartments that are divided by a shell of white connective tissue known as fascia. Each section and tissues contained in it are supplied by their own nerves and blood vessels that run down the front or back of the foot. The front compartment is often referred to ashoshin and contains tibialis front, extensor digitorum longus and extensor hallucis longus, muscles that lift the ankle, four smaller fingers and a large finger. Sometimes they are also included in the front compartment, there are three muscles peroneus on the outside of the shin, longus, bRevis and Terrtius that help tilt the leg out.

in the back of the leg, known as a calf, consists of seven muscles. These include large gastrocnemius and soleus and smaller Plantaris muscles, which are plantarflexors of the ankle, which means that they direct the leg down. Below them are Poppliteus, which helps flex and knee rotation, flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus, which plantarflex four smaller and large fingers, and the back of the tibialis that leans the foot inside.

Delivery of these compartments is several main blood vessels and nerves that are responsible for supplying oxygen and nutcents into the tissues of the foot and foot. In the front compartment of CRUS there are front tibial artery and deep fibular nerve, each branching into numerous smaller tributaries. Similarly, the rear compartment is supplied with rear tibial artery and tibial nerve.
