Several conditions can mimic insertional or midportion Achilles tendinopathy by causing heel pain and need to be considered in the differential diagnosis.

The Achilles tendon core, particularly the midportion, is characterized by a decreased cellularity and generally low vascularization. At the bony insertion site, the Kager fat pad and the retrocalcaneal bursa are located between the bone and tendon

#Midportion disease:
More severe tendon thickening & complete tears
#Insertional disease:
Partial tears more frequent

Mountain Beavers have weird skulls! They are "protrogomorphous" which means that their jaw muscle (superficial masseter) originates on the upper palate (maxilla) and inserts along the back of the jaw (angular process) as compared to other rodents #2025MMM #RIP animaldiversity.org/collections/...
In primitive forms, the superficial masseter arose near the anterior end of the toothrow (a bump that serves as the point of origin in many rodents is termed the masseteric tubercle) and inserted along the lower part of the mandible at the rear. The lateral masseter arose from the midportion of the zygomatic arch and also inserted along the bottom of the lower jaw towards its rear. The medial masseter was small, originating along the inside of the middle of the zygomatic arch and inserting on the mandible near the end of the molar toothrow. This condition is called protrogomorphous and in living rodents, is seen only in aplodontias.
