What else can I help you with?
What muscle is the Achilles tendon attached?
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).
What muscle will insert at the posterior calcaneus?
The soleus muscle inserts into the posterior calcaneus via the Achilles tendon.
What is the tough connective tissue that ties the gastronomic muscle to the calcaneous muscle?
The gastrocnemius muscle is located in the posterior, or back part of the lower leg. The calcaneal tendon, more commonly known as the Achilles Tendon, is what connects the gastrocnemius muscle to the calcaneus bone.
Where does the Achilles tendons insert?
superior extensor retinaculum and inferior extensor retinaculum
What is the action of calcaneal tendon?
The calcaneal tendon, also known as the Achilles tendon, attaches the calf muscles to the heel bone (calcaneus). Its main action is to plantarflex the foot, which means pointing the toes downward. This action is involved in walking, running, and jumping.
What tendon inserts most commonly into the triceps surae?
The tendon of triceps brachii insert on top of olecranon process of ulna. While that of triceps surae forms the archille's tendon and insert in calcaneus
Does gastrocnemius cross the joint anteriorly or posteriorly?
The gastrocnemius muscle crosses the joint posteriorly. It originates from the posterior aspect of the femur and inserts into the calcaneus via the Achilles tendon.
What muscle inserts on the central tendon?
The diaphragm.
What muscle inserts the central tendon?
The diaphragm.
Name the tough connective tissue that ties the gastrocnemiusmuscle to the calcaneus bone?
The Achilles tendon attaches the gastrocnemius muscle to the calcaneus.
What is the tough connective tissue that ties the gastrocnemius muscle to the calcaneus bone?
Achilles tendon
What is effector muscle for calcaneal reflex action?
The effector muscle for the calcaneal reflex (also known as the Achilles reflex) is the gastrocnemius muscle in the calf. When the Achilles tendon is tapped, it causes a contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle, resulting in plantar flexion of the foot.
