No, the soleus muscle is deep to the gastrocnemius muscle in the lower leg.
type of contraction of gastrocnemius muscle?
Gastrocnemius
No, the gastrocnemius muscle forms the belly of the calf in the lower leg.
gastrocnemius
The muscle at the back of the calf is called the gastrocnemius muscle. It is responsible for plantar flexion of the foot.
Gastrocnemius muscle
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.
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.
Gastrocnemius
u cant stand without the gastrocnemius muscle.FAKE
The gastrocnemius is superficial to the soleus muscle in the lower leg.
