Study Notes
Muscle Structure and Function
- Tearing and separation of the gastrocnemius muscle's tendon of insertion would most seriously impair an animal's ability to stand on the affected limb.
Muscle Contraction
- The contraction of a muscle usually displaces the tendon of insertion.
Muscle Tissue
- The endomysium is located between muscle fibers, surrounding each fiber.
Muscle Origin and Insertion
- The origin of a muscle is usually proximal and stable, while the insertion is usually distal and movable.
Triceps Brachii
- The triceps brachii performs elbow extension (straightening the arm).
