What is the lagest tendon?
== == The plantaris has a short muscle belly, but the longest tendon in the body. Its belly lies at an oblique angle along the popliteal space of the posterior knee between the gastrocnemius heads; its tendon extends down the length of the leg and attaches to the calcaneus. It arises from the Lateral condyle of the femur and inserts at the calcaneus.

What muscle inserts on the calcaneus bone via the calcaneal tendon?
The gastrocnemius, soleus and peroneus longus muscles insert at the heel (calcaneus) by way of the Achilles (calcaneal) tendon.
Name the tough connective tissue that ties the gastrocnemiusmuscle to the calcaneus bone?
The Achilles tendon attaches the gastrocnemius muscle to the calcaneus.
What kind of bone is the calcaneus?
