The thigh is comprised of quite a few muscles. The main muscles that people usually refer to fall into two categories: the hamstring group and the quadriceps group. In the hamstring group (which is the back of the thigh) are the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. In the quadriceps group (front of thigh) are the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, and vastus medialis. Some other muscles that are on the thigh are the sartorius, iliopsoas, adductor longus, adductor magnus, and gracilis.
The gastrocnemius is the two-headed muscle you can feel at the back of your calf. Running underneath it is the soleues, which has a very similar action on the foot to the gastrocnemius but is not palapatable. Triceps surae
Gastrocnemius
there are 3 "calf" muscles: gastrocnemius muscle, soleus muscle, and plantaris muscle.
gastrocnemius
it is the gasstronemius
The calf muscle is also called the gastrocnemius. This is the muscle that is visible when looking at the outside of the body. Under this muscle lies the soelus. This muscle is most active when one's knee is bent.
The triceps surae is a pair of muscles located at the calf -
Gastrocnemius and soleus wich is behind the gastrocnemuis that you can't see from the outside of the body.
The muscle at the back of the calf is called the gastrocnemius muscle. It is responsible for plantar flexion of the foot.
This muscle is found in the lower part of the leg
There is, it's called the gastrocnemius
The gastrocnemius muscle is located with the soleus in the posterior (back) compartment of the leg. It is associated with the "bulge" in the calf muscle.
Every muscle in the back of the calf (with the exception of the popliteus) helps to raise you up on your tip toes.
Veal comes from young cattle, or calves. The muscle on the back of one's leg is called a calf muscle.
aya
A young cow is called a calf, while the part of your leg between your knee and ankle is called the calf muscle.
the Achilles tendon is the area on the back of ur foot, between the ball of ur foot and ur ankle. i guess maybe the calf muscle is sometimes called Achilles tendon b/c in cats and dogs, the Achilles tendon is part of the calf muscle
Calf back of leg.
The gastrocnemius muscle is between the back of your knee and your heel.
The heel raise exercise works your calf muscles, which are two separate muscles. The first is the gastrocnemius muscle, which is the outermost calf muscle on the back of your lower leg. Your soleus muscle is the second part of your calf muscle and rests underneath the gastrocnemius. However, the soleus is slightly wider than the gastrocnemius.
