The Gastrocnemius is the calf muscle that is visible from the outside of the body. It attaches to the heel with the Achilles Tendon and originates behind the knee on the femur, crossing two joints.

it is two muscles on the posterior (back) part of the lower leg: made up of gastrochiums and soleus, the muscles allow you to stand on your toes; more importantly give you toe off when walking.
