"History and etymology "
"The Achilles tendon forms by merging fibres of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, forming the tendon that inserts into the posterosuperior aspect of the calcaneus. A more precise description of the Achilles tendon allows us to recognise an internal structure; in fact, it is composed of three fascicles: the fascicles of the lateral and medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle and the fascicle of the soleus muscle 6."
