The plantaris, gastrocnemius and soleus muscles attach (via the Achilles tendon) to the superior aspect of the tuber calcanei.
There are many muscles that attach to the calcaneus, but the two biggest ones are the gastrocnemius and soleus. These two muscles attach to the calcaneus, via the achilles tendon. The other muscles are: the foot intrinsic muscles, so they begin and end only in the foot, and the plantaris, which attaches to the femur, and travels down to the calcaneus.
The Achilles tendon attaches the gastrocnemius muscle to the calcaneus.
No muscles attach to the talus, extensive ligaments attach to the talus to reinforce the ankle joint however the majority of the muscles originate from the calcaneus
Tendons attach muscle to bone, muscles do not attach to bone.
The Achilles tendon is attached to the calf muscle (gastrocnemius). It is also attached to the heel bone (calcaneus). Achilles tendon is also known as the calcaneal tendon (calcaneal hence the heel bone calcaneus).
Achilles tendon
Tendons attach muscle to bone (whereas ligaments attach bone to bone).
hi hows your muscle
Tendons attach muscle to bone Ligaments attach bone to bone
ligaments attach bone to bone and tendons attach bone to muscle
Ligaments attach bone to bon and tendons attach muscle to bone.
