👉 Dorsalis is a term used in anatomy to describe the innermost layer of the foot, which is usually referred to as the sole. It consists of three layers: the plantar fascia, the ligamentum teres (the tendinous part of the Achilles tendon), and the tibialis anterior (the tendon that connects the heel to the ankle joint). The dorsalis is a crucial structure for supporting the weight of the foot on the ground and preventing it from rolling or slipping.
