Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The extensor digitorum longus muscle originates from the lateral condyle of the tibia, the proximal two-thirds of the fibula, and the interosseous membrane. It inserts on the dorsal surface of the distal phalanges of the second through fifth toes by four tendons. Therefore, it is the muscle that inserts on a tendon that extends toes 2-5.
