Answer:

The fibularis longus

Step-by-step explanation:

The fibularis longus starts at the top of the fibula and attaches to the first metatarsal bone of the foot.

It has two functions:

  1. Eversion of the ankle (turning the foot outwards)
  2. Plantarflexion (the movement like standing on tiptoe or depressing a gas pedal)
