Muscle belly, muscle fascicle, muscle bre (cell), myo brils, myo laments. Origin: closer to the core of the body. Insertion: furthest from the core of the body. Musculoskeletal anatomy: articulations (joints: synarthroses: immovable or slightly moveable. Cartilaginous joints: cartilage (ie. sternum, iv discs, pubic symphysis: diarthroses: freely moveable. Accessory movements: roll, slide (glide), and spin: articulations: synovial joints. Synovial uid: nutrition, decreases friction and reduces joint destruction. Fat pads: increase joint surface area, shock absorption.
