Where is your Achilles tendon at?

Answer 1

A late legend has Achilles' goddess-mother dipping him in the River Styx to make him invulnerable, but holding him by the heel, didn't immerse that part. Crafty Paris shot him in the heel with an arrow, and so killed him. The word Achilles heel is used as an expression for someone's vulnerability. The tendon attaching the calf muscle to the heel is now called the Achilles tendon.

Answer 2

The Achilles tendon is a rope-like structure rising vertically from the back of your heel bone along the back of your ankle bones to the back of your leg where the calf muscles spread out from it.

Answer 3

The Achilles tendon stretches from the bottom of the calf muscle to top of the heel.

Answer 4

It is the thickest and strongest tendon in the body, back of the leg, from the heel to the calf

Answer 5

The Achilles tendon is a large, strong tendon at the back of your ankle, connecting the muscles in your calf to your heel bone. It is crucial for activities like walking, running, and jumping.
