        what is the hallux?

key: 

*  differs from human

not a muscle, but a relevant structure

remember that knowing origin, insertion, and function - action of each muscle & muscle group is
    (a) required, and
    (b) helpful for identification and remembering which is which

    YOU MUST KNOW THE RELEVANT BONES, TOO!!
