Document Summary

Three primary types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, cardiac. Muscles cross over the joints and connect to bone. They are the movers of the bones. Muscles come in groupings that are called fascicles. Parallel-fusiform: parallel muscles have fascicles that are arranged in the same direction as the long axis of the muscle. When a parallel muscle has a central, large belly that is spindle- shaped, meaning it tapers as it extends to its origin and insertion, it sometimes is called fusiform. Muscle origin: end of the muscle attached to a fixed (stabilized) bone. Muscle insertion: moveable end of the muscle that attaches to the bone being pulled. Muscle belly: muscles that seem to be plump have a large mass of tissue located in the middle of the muscle, between the insertion and the origin, which is known as the central body.
