  1. heelbone

    The heelbone, also known as the calcaneus, is the large bone located at the rear of the foot that forms the heel. It is the largest and strongest bone in the foot, bearing most of the body's weight when a person stands or walks. It is crucial for balance and movement, and is connected to both the talus bone (which it forms the subtalar joint with), and the Achilles tendon.
