lab four: myology - pectoral area and superficial and deep neck Flashcards
(109 cards)
parallel
fascicles are parallel to the longitudinal axis and terminate in flat tendons
ex: sternohyoid
fusiform
fascicles are nearly parallel to the longitudinal axis with a belly that narrows toward the tendons
ex: biceps brachii
circular
fascicles are arranged concentrically
ex: orbicularis oculi
triangular
fascicles converge from a broad origin to a narrow insertion
ex: trapezius
unipennate
fascicles attach to one of the two sides of a tendon
ex: extensor digitorum longus
bipennate
fascicles attach on both sides of a central tendon
ex: rectus femoris
multipennate
fascicles attach obliquely to tendons in various direction
ex: deltoid
