Origin
Moves the most
Insertions
the fleshy part of the muscle
Belly
are cords of fibrous tissue that attaches the muscle to bones, cartilage or ligaments
Tendons
are thin but strong sheet of fibrous tissue attached to flattened muscle
Aponeurosis
is an interdigitation of the tendinous ends of fibers of flat muscles
Raphe
is a fibrous tissue envelope that surrounds the muscle fiber
Epimysium
How are the individual fibers of the muscle arranged?
Parallel
Oblique
Enumerate the Oblique muscles
fibers run obliquely to the line of pull
Pennate Muscles
are muscles where the tendon lies along one side of the muscle and the muscle fibers pass obliquely to it
Unipennate Muscle
is where the tendon lies in the center of the muscle and muscle fibers pass to it from two sides.
Bipennate Muscle
may be arranged as a series of muscles lying alongside one another
Multipennate Muscle
Example of Unipennate
Digital extensors
Example of Bipennate
rectus femoris
Example of Multipennate
Deltoids
four ways that a muscle may work
chief muscle or member of a chief group of muscles responsible for a particular movement
Prime Mover
is any muscle that opposes the action of the prime mover is an?
Antagonist
contracts isometrically to stabilize the origin of the prime mover so that it can act efficiently.
Fixator
