Soleus muscle - “calves”
Soleus
The soleus muscle which make up the calf of the body.
Commonly, it is called as Calf Muscles.
If I go into the deeper information, then calf muscle consists of two muscles i.e. Gastrocnemius and Soleus.
Soleus is the main muscle which works as a second heart of the body as it help the veins to drain the blood upside into the heart against the gravity more efficiently.

The “second heart” of our body is “calf muscle” specifically the “soleus muscle” It is called the second heart, because it plays a important role in pumping blood back up from the lower body to the heart, especially when we walk or move our legs. It helps maintain proper blood circulation and prevents blood from pooling in the legs.
The soleus muscle (in your calf).

The calves because it pump blood back to the heart when contracts, helping push blood upward through one way valves in vein.
