The Gastrocnemius (pronounced /藢g忙s.tr蓱k藞ni.mi.蓹s/) muscle is a powerful superficial muscle that is in the back part of the lower leg (the calf). It runs from its 2 heads just above the knee to the heel, and is involved in standing and walking.





Along with the soleus muscle it forms the calf muscle.
Reply:The calf or gastrosoleus is a pair of muscles, the gastrocnemius and soleus.





The gastrosoleus complex is connected to the foot through the Achilles tendon, and contract to induce plantar flexion and stabilization of the ankle complex in the transverse plane.





The Gastrocnemius is a powerful superficial muscle in the back part of the lower leg (the calf). It is located with the soleus in the superficial posterior compartment of the leg.





The Soleus is a powerful superficial muscle in the back part of the lower leg (the calf). It is located with the gastrocnemius in the superficial posterior compartment of the leg.





The Latissimus dorsi is the large, flat, dorso-lateral muscle on the trunk, posterior to the arm, and partly covered by the spinotrapezius on its median dorsal region.





The Biceps femoris is a muscle of the posterior thigh. As its name implies, it has two parts, one of which (the long head) forms part of the hamstrings muscle group.





The Rectus abdominis muscle is a paired muscle running vertically on each side of the anterior wall of the human abdomen (and in some other animals). It is contained in the Rectus sheath.





The Trapezius is a large superficial muscle on a person's back. It is innervated by the accessory nerve (Cranial Nerve 11), which also supplies the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
