The heel is the prominence at the posterior end of the Foot . It is based on the projection of one Bone , the Calcaneus , behind the articulation of the bones of the lower Leg . In the long-footed mammals, both the hoofed species ( Unguligrade ) and the clawed forms which walk on the toes ( Digitigrade ), the heel is well above the ground at the apex of the angular joint known as the Hock . In Plantigrade species it rests on the ground. SEE ALSO |
