Study Notes
Types of Attachment
- Skeletal muscles can attach to bone, fibrous raphe, skin, intermediate tendon or cartilage.
- Bone attachment is most common
Muscle Form
- Muscle form is determined by fiber arrangement and line of pull.
- Line of pull extends from the origin to insertion.
- Parallel fibers include strap-like, strap-like with tendinous intersections, quadrilateral and fusiform.
- Oblique fibers include unipennate, bipennate, multipennate, circupennate, triangular, cruciate, spiral, and circular.
