The joint that allows you to move your heel is the subtalar joint, located between the talus and calcaneus bones in the foot. This joint enables the foot to perform inversion and eversion movements, which are essential for walking and balancing. Additionally, the ankle joint (talocrural joint) also contributes to heel movement by allowing the foot to flex and extend. Together, these joints facilitate various movements of the heel and foot.

Why does the shape of the joint allows the neck to move?
The shape of the joint, called a ball-and-socket joint, allows for a wide range of motion because of its design. The rounded end of one bone fits into the cup-like socket of another bone, providing stability and flexibility for movement in multiple directions. This structure allows the neck to move freely in all directions, including rotation, flexion, and extension.
What is joint movement when you move your lower jaw forward?
When you move your lower jaw forward, the joint movement involved is primarily a combination of hinge (rotation) and sliding (translation) movements at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This allows for the smooth opening and closing of the mouth.
Which term describes extension of the ankle joint and elevates the heel?
The term that describes the extension of the ankle joint and elevates the heel is "plantarflexion."

It primarily involves the action of the calf muscles, specifically the gastrocnemius and soleus.
