Fcns of the arches
Interlongitudinal arch

-originates along medial border of the calcaneus and extends forward to dist. head of 1st meta tarsal
-Calcaneus->talus->navicular->1st cunieform-> 1st metatarsal
Main supporting ligament = plantarcalcaneonavicular
Outerlogitudinal arch
serves for support
Ant. Metatarsal Arch
Shaped by distal heads of metatarsals
Transverse arch
extends across trans tarsal bones, primarily cuboid/cuneiform
-forms 1/2 dome which gives protection to soft tissue and increase mobility
