As a collective functional unit, the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg are responsible for what motion(s):

As a collective functional unit, the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg are responsible for DORSIFLEXION AND INVERSION OF THE FOOT AT THE ANKLE JOINT

Explanation:

There are four muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg.

1. Tibialis anterior

2. Extensor digitorum longus

3. Extensor hallucis longus and

4. Fibularis tertius.

Based on their origins and insertions on the foot, contraction of these four muscles will lead to a shortening of the muscle’s body and cause the dorsum of the foot to be pulled towards the leg. This movement is known as dorsiflexion. Also, certain muscles from this group assist in the inversion of the foot.

The muscles in this compartment are innervated by the deep fibular nerve (L4-S1), and blood is supplied via the anterior tibial artery.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
