Translations:Dorsale Unterschenkelmuskulatur/157/en

The soleus muscle, also known as the clod muscle, forms a functional unit together with the gastrocnemius muscle. The muscle is multipinnate and has an aponeurosis separate from the gastrocnemius muscle. The muscle originates at the caput fibulae and at the upper third of the dorsal surface of the fibula and tibia. The two origins form an interspace called the muscle arcade. The insertion, together with the gastrocnemius muscle, lies across the Achilles tendon at the calcaneal tuberosity.
