Heel
The
heel is the prominence at the posterior end of the
foot. It is based on the projection of one
bone, the calcaneum, 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.
A
heel is a performer in the world of
professional wrestling portrayed as a villain. Notable heels include
Triple H and
Brock Lesnar.
