Test 2 Flashcards
belly of the muscle
the contractile portion (which contains skeletal muscle tissue). It is attached to other structures by tendons at each end and is sometimes divided into named subparts
tendon of the muscle
the fibrous connective tissue structure found at each end of a skeletal muscle belly. Attaches belly to other structures
aponeuroses
a broad or flat sheet-like muscle attachment
head of the muscle
the result of the fusion of multiple bellies of a muscle
origin
the attachment site of a tendon typically at the proximal or more fixed end of a muscle
insertion
the attachment site of a tendon typically at the distal or more mobile end of the a muscle belly
