The Achilles tendon structure joins the gastrocnemius to the calcaneus.
The Achilles tendon attaches the gastrocnemius muscle to the calcaneus.
The scientific name for the Achilles tendon is the "tendo calcaneus." It is the largest tendon in the body, connecting the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the calcaneus, or heel bone. This structure plays a crucial role in walking, running, and jumping by facilitating the movement of the foot.
