The thick tendon in the posterior lower leg (Achilles tendon) connecting the calf muscles to the calcaneus bone of the heel.
The thick tendon in the posterior lower leg (Achilles tendon) connecting the calf muscles to the calcaneus bone of the heel.
Situated in the crural (lower leg) region (right anatomical side, posterior aspect) within the connective tissue.
Jump directly to connected anatomical structures to compare their locations, functions, and 3D relationships.
Ligaments and cartilage bind skeletal elements together and cushion articular surfaces.
Tendons and aponeuroses (like the calcaneal tendon and linea alba) anchor skeletal muscles to bones and midline fascia.
