Which region is not a plantar layer?

Which region is not a plantar layer?

• A. Dorsum
• B. 1st layer
• C. 2nd layer
• D. Neurovascular layer

Answer: (A)

Focus on how the sole of the foot is organized. The plantar aspect comprises four muscular layers (superficial to deep) plus a deep neurovascular layer that contains the main nerves and vessels. The dorsum, or top surface of the foot, is not part of this plantar arrangement. That makes the region on the dorsal surface the one not belonging to the plantar layers, even though the other options represent specific plantar layers or structures within the sole.
