1.
The main types of tissues in skeletal muscles are striated muscle fibers and
2.
The large portion of skeletal muscle is known as its belly or fleshy belly.
Generally, a skeletal muscle is attached to bone by a tendon or aponeurosis. If
the fleshy portion is directly connected to the bone, it is called a fleshy attachment.
3.
A neurovascular bundle is a branch from the main NAVL, sheathed in fibrous
connective tissue. The motor point is the specific location on the surface of the
muscle where the neurovascular bundle enters. A motor unit is a single motor
neuron and the striated muscle fibers activated by the neuron. All fibers of a motor

The trunk musculature is arranged in two ways--longitudinal muscles and oblique
muscles. The limb musculature is arranged around the joints to produce the

7.
The muscle which makes the main effort for a given motion is called the prime
