Chapter 10 Flashcards
Perimysium
Wraps fibers into bundles called fascicles
Epimysium
Fibrous sheath that surrounds entire muscle
Endomysium
Surrounds each muscle fiber
Fascia
Separates neighboring muscles or muscle groups from each other
Fusiform Muscle
thick in middle and tapered on end
Parallel Muscle
uniform width and parallel fascicles
Triangular Muscle
fan shaped; broad at one end and narrow on the other
Pennate Muscle
feather shaped; fascicles insert into a tendon that runs length wise
Circular Muscle
rings; generally in body openings
Muscle Compartments
A group of functionally related muscles enclosed and separated from each other by a fascia
Direct Attachment
Little separation (to the naked eye) between the muscle and bone
Indirect Attachment
Tendons bridge the gap between the muscle and the bone
Origin
Bony attachment at stationary end of muscle
Insertion
Bony attachment to mobile end of muscle
Belly
Thicker, middle region of muscle between origin and insertion
