Homework for April 30, 2008

Questions for this week:

Usually, when we refer to the deeper layers of muscle in the body, we describe them as shorter, and acting on fewer joints. How does this apply to the muscles of the lower leg?

How would you describe the difference between the function of the gastrocnemius and the soleus?

Why do peoples' anterior tibialis anterior tendon frequently "pop out" when they attempt to squat?

Here are some links to Tom Myers' website:

The SBL Video we watched

Tom's introductory "Yoga Anatomy" gallery

I look forward to seeing you next Wednesday, when we will discuss the knee, and view the video of my 2 knee surgeries.
