Muscle Structure
- The connective tissue that surrounds individual muscle fibers is called endomysium.
- The thick middle part of a muscle is called the belly.
- The outermost connective tissue layer that surrounds the entire muscle is called epimysium.
Muscle Contraction and Movement
- Isometric contraction occurs when the muscle length does not shorten, but its tension increases, and no movement occurs.
- The starting point of a muscle that does not move or moves less is called the origin.
