heel definition and meaning

What is "heel"?

The heel is the back part of the foot, located below the ankle and behind the arch. It is a weight-bearing structure that provides stability and support during walking, running, and standing. Composed of bone, muscle, fat, and connective tissues, the heel absorbs impact and helps propel the body forward. The heel is also home to the calcaneus bone, which plays a vital role in supporting the body's weight. Understanding the anatomy and function of the heel is important for maintaining balance, preventing injuries, and ensuring proper foot mechanics.
