Heel

For other uses, see Heel (disambiguation)}}}.

The heel is the prominence at the posterior end of the foot (not actualy part of the foot but part of the ankle). 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.
