The plantar interossei are located in the foot and attach the metatarsals to the medial sides of the phalanges and the distal tendons of the extensor digitorum longus (dorsal digital expansion) of toes three through five. Choice A is describing the attachments of the palmar interossei in the hand. Choice C is describing the attachment of the flexor digitorum longus muscle to the calcaneus. Choice D is describing the attachment of the extensor digitorum longus to the phalanges of toes two through four, but not involving the plantar interossei.
