#4. Popliteus muscle
Anatomy of gastrocnemius muscle of goat
Gastrocnemius is a bulky muscle located behind the upper part of tibia bone in goat. It has two head – lateral head and medial head.
The lateral head originates from lateral supracondyloid tuberosity. Medial head originates from from medial epicondyle of femur and medial supracondyloid tuberosity.
Both the lateral and medial head inserts on calcaneal tuber bone in goat.
