Document Summary

Origin = point of attachment to a bone that doesn"t move during activities. Insertion = attached to part of bone that is going to be moved when contracted. Muscle cells with same orientation are bundled ( fascicle ) which is a layer of perimysium. Has sheath that divides muscle into fascicles (bundles 10-100 muscle fibers) Dense, fibrous ct that surrounds/ holds group of fascicles together and attach it to a bone. Coarse layer of dense ct that binds muscles into functional groups (grps of similar muscles) Most span joints and are attached to bone at 2 places. Muscle can trade roles (origin of one movement can become insertion of another) Aponeurosis = attach muscles together or to bone (sheet like attachment) Can arrange so width/ thickness of muscle is uniform/ straplike. Can be bundled so middle of muscle is thicker than ends = fusiform. Unipennate = fascicles insert into one side of tendon (extensor digitorum longus)
