I was asking the same question. I think it probably is the Gastrocnemius muscle but I'm having trouble confirming that. It could also potentially be the Soleus muscle.
Alternatively you could say that it is the Triceps Suraemuscle which refers to both the Gastrocnemius and the Soleus as a single muscle. This is a legitamite anatomical description seeing as the Gastrocnemius and the Soleus both attach via the Calcaneus tendon. The Triceps Surae is what is commonly refered to as the "calf muscle".
No, the tibialis anterior and posterior are responsible for dorsiflexion, not plantar flexion. Plantar flexion is primarily controlled by the muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, such as the gastrocnemius and soleus.
Plantar Flexion
It results in flexion of the toes
The two lateral ankle muscles that create plantar flexion and eversion of the foot are the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis.
The muscle at the back of the calf is called the gastrocnemius muscle. It is responsible for plantar flexion of the foot.
Tiil adidas is the prime mover of ankle plantar flexion.
extensor digitorum longus, the extensor hallucus longus and the peroneus tertius muscles help dorsi flexiontibialis anterior

Plantar flexion occurs in your feet.
your rectus abdominis is the prime mover in a crunch exercise or spinal flexion
The prim mover for hip flexion is the Rectus femoris. This is a quadricep muscle that crosses the hip joint.
No, the tibialis anterior and posterior are responsible for dorsiflexion, not plantar flexion. Plantar flexion is primarily controlled by the muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, such as the gastrocnemius and soleus.

popliteus is not involved in plantarflexion...its involved in leg flexion
