Tendon is an inelastic cord or band of tough white fibrous connective tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone or other part.

∙ 14y agoThe Achilles, or calcaneal, tendon links the calcaneus (the bone which you can feel in the back of your foot) to three muscles - the gastrocnemius, the soleus and the plantaris. Contraction of these causes plantarflexion (pushing down) of the foot. Also, the neurological integrity of S1 can be tested by inducing a reflex here.

∙ 10y agoThe Achilles tendon attaches the gastrocnemius muscle in the soleus muscle to the heel. These two muscles cause plantar flexion. A person can stand on their toes with this. Damage to this prevents this action. The Achilles tendon's helps in walking.

Who was archilles?
Achilles was one of the best heroes in Greek mythology. No weapon or man could ever harm him when he was young. His mother was a goddess and wanted to share her immortality with him by dipping him into the River Styx so he would have an impenetrable hide. The only thing was that his heel was covered by his mother's thumb, his weak spot. He appeared in Homer's Iliad and was shot by a poisoned arrow in his tendon in his heel. The term Achilles Tendon or Achilles Heel pertains to a person's weakness.
Who was in Trojan war?
Many people were in the Trojan war. For starters all of Greek and Troy, then there was King Priam, he was the King of Troy and father of Prince Hector and Prince Paris. Then there was King Agamemnon, he ruled all of Greece; he also had his brother who was King Menelaus who married Queen Helen. In the war Helen plays a huge role for she leaves with Prince Paris and then Menelaus and Agamemnon send a thousand ships to bring her back. Then Archilles comes in, he's know as an unbelievable figher. He fights for the Greeks for fame and just to be remembered in history. Thetis is Archilles mother, Patroclus is Archilles cousin. Prince Hector was the heir to the throne of Troy. He was said to be the greatest warrior despite Archilles being a demi-god or whatever. Hector was maried to Andromache and they had a son. Of course later in the movie Hector is killed by Archilles while Archilles is enraged with the death of his cousin Patroclus who was killed by Hector. Although Hector thought that Patroclus was Archilles. Homer you could say was a huge part of the Trojan war. Homer wrote the 'Illiad' and the 'Odyssey.' These were two epic poems that he wrote about the Trojan war. Another character I just remembered was Odysseus, Odysseus was like the only person outside Archilles mother and cousin that could get through to Archilles. Another person that caught my attention in the Trojan war was Briseis. In the movie she was the lover of Archilles after being captured by the Greeks and she was given to him. However I don't really know if that really happend in reality. I know for a fact she was captured by the Greeks, and that she was given to Archilles I'm not sure about her actual role in Archilles love life. Anyway those are the people off the top of my head. I hope this answers your question.
