The
Gastronemius is a large muscle in the calf. It extends the ankle and flexes the knee, inserting in the calcaneous.
The
Soleus is the other muscle that helps make up the calf muscles. It originates from the fibula and inserts in the calcaneous as well.
The
Tibialis anterior is the thickest muscle on the shin, located directly below the knee joint, running down the center of the shin.

The
Extensor digitorum longus is lateral to the Tibialis anterior.

The
Peroneus longus is lateral to the Extensor digitorum longus. Make sure you can isolate this separate from the
Peroneus tertuis. The
Peroneus tertuis works with the other shin muscles to help extend the ankle.
