The posterior curvature of the heel is called the "calcaneal angle" or "Gregoire's angle." This is the angle formed by the intersection of the plantar aspect of the calcaneus and the Achilles tendon. It is an important measurement in evaluating foot alignment and biomechanics.
The heel of the foot is on the DORSAL side of the body.
The toes are distal to the heel because they are farther away from the origin of the lower leg. To determine distal or proximal, trace the line of the limb from where it attaches to the body. A structure you reach first when tracing that line is proximal.
It is also called the neurohypophysis.
superior extensor retinaculum and inferior extensor retinaculum
the defective curvature on the cornea or lens is called Astigmatism

Actually, the word "Posterior" means: To the back. So, for example: Your heel is posterior to your toes.
Kyphosis.
The heel of the foot is on the DORSAL side of the body.
The recommended site for heel punctures is the lateral (outside) or medial (inside) plantar surface of the heel. In small or premature infants, the heel bone (calcaneus) may be no more than 2.0 mm beneath the skin surface and no more than half this distance at the posterior curvature of the heel. Puncturing deeper than 2.0 mm on the plantar surface of the heel of small infants may, therefore, risk bone damage. When using incision devices, puncturing the heel at a 90' angle to the length of the foot is recommended.5 Such incisions create a 'gap' puncture (one which opens when pressure is applied) and further enhance blood flow. For infants, punctures must not be performed on: The posterior curvature of the heel. The central area of an infant's foot (area of the arch). Punctures to this area may result in injury to nerves, tendons, and cartilage. The fingers of a newborn or infant less than one year old. Earlobes.

The stomach has a greater and lesser curvature. The greater curvature is the more lateral of the two.

Lordosis is an exaggerated inward curvature of the lumbar spine, which primarily occurs in the sagittal plane. This means that when viewing the spine from the side, lordosis involves an increased concave curvature in the lumbar region.
A fossa is an inward curvature or depression in the wall of a bone.
It was named after the hero "Achilles", who was killed when an arrow penetrated his heel.
It is also called the neurohypophysis.
