title: [The question of organogenetic development of the musculus tibialis anterior (MTA) in man].
abstract: The present organogenetic study of the tibialis anterior muscle on 65 lower limbs of human embryos and fetuses shows that the primitive form of the muscle develops from only one primordium. Therefore, the abductor hallucis longus muscle has been present neither in man nor in his ancestors.
