Describing Muscles

  • Origin: The end of a muscle that is fixed during muscle contraction.
  • Insertion: The end of a muscle that moves during muscle contraction.
  • Belly: The fleshy part of a muscle responsible for contraction.
  • Tendon: Fibrous, non-contractile cord that connects muscle to bone (or other structures).
  • Aponeurosis: Flattened tendon.
  • Raphe: Fibrous band composed of interdigitating fibers of tendons or aponeuroses. It's stretchable, unlike ligaments.
  • Ligaments: Fibrous, inelastic bands connecting two segments of a joint.

Describing Vessels

  • Arteries: Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, except for the pulmonary and umbilical arteries, which carry deoxygenated blood.
  • Arterioles: Branches of arteries, resembling a tree structure.
