gastrocnemius

Step-by-step explanation:

Your calf muscle consists of two main muscle the gastrocnemius and the soleus. Because these two muscles come together above your heel and attach to the Achilles tendon, some providers refer to the gastrocnemius and soleus as one large muscle with two sections.
