1. Soleus muscle

   In humans and some other mammals, the soleus is a powerful muscle in the back part of the lower leg (the calf). It runs from just below the knee to the heel, and is involved in standing and walking. It is closely connected to the gastrocnemius muscle and some anatomists consider them to be a single muscle, the triceps surae. Its name is derived from the Latin word "solea", meaning "sandal".

1. soleus muscle

   The soleus muscle is a flat, broad muscle located in the calf of the leg. It is situated underneath the gastrocnemius muscle and is responsible for plantar-flexing or pointing the foot and toes, a movement that is necessary for walking, running and certain other physical activities. The soleus muscle also plays a key role in maintaining upright posture and aid in circulation by helping to pump venous blood back up into the body from the lower limb.

1. Soleus muscle

   In humans and some other mammals, the soleus is a powerful muscle in the back part of the lower leg. It runs from just below the knee to the heel, and is involved in standing and walking. It is closely connected to the gastrocnemius muscle and some anatomists consider them to be a single muscle, the triceps surae. Its name is derived from the Latin word, "solea," meaning "sandal." The soleus is located in the superficial posterior compartment of the leg. Not all mammals have a soleus muscle; one familiar species that lacks the soleus is the dog. Soleus is vestigial in the horse. The soleus exhibits significant morphological differences across species. It is unipennate in many species. In some animals, such as the rabbit, it is fused for much of its length with the gastrocnemius muscle. In the human, soleus is a complex multi-pennate muscle, usually having a separate aponeurosis from the gastrocnemius muscle. A majority of soleus muscle fibers originate from each side of the anterior aponeurosis, attached to the tibia and fibula.[2][3] Other fibers originate from the posterior surfaces of the head of the fibula and its upper quarter, as well as the middle third of the medial border of the tibia.
