SIZE MATTERS. The largest ever recorded Blue Whale measured 108 feet (33 meters) in length! Typical adult Blue Whales tend to measure approximately 75-100 feet (22-30 meters).
A FEW OF THE HIP FLEXOR TENDONS. As you might imagine, the âHip Flexorsâ are muscles that flex your hips. Flexion of the hip is easy to understand. If you bring your knee toward your chest, you are flexing your hip.
The Achilles tendon is a tough band of fibrous tissue that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone (calcaneus). The Achilles tendon is also called the calcaneal tendon. The gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (calf muscles) unite into one band of tissue, which becomes the Achilles tendon at the low end of the calf. The Achilles tendon then inserts into the calcaneus. Small sacs of fluid called bursae cushion the Achilles tendon at the heel. The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the body. When the calf muscles flex, the Achilles tendon pulls on the heel.
