Triceps surae - Hard triceps surae
The calf is a muscle located on the back of the lower leg that forms the calf. It is made up of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, the former with two heads originating from the lower part of the femur, and the latter with one head originating from the back of the tibia, giving it its three heads in total. They form the bulge of the calf. At the bottom, the two join together to form the Achilles tendon, which attaches to the calcaneus. It is a powerful flexor of the foot that presses the foot against the floor and helps with standing on its toes and taking off when walking, running, or jumping.
