    Muscles are defined as specialized tissue that has the property of contractibility. Muscles contain an origin and insertion point that are mostly attached to bones, and when the muscle contracts it moves the bone or joint. There are three main types of muscles in the body: voluntary/striated/skeletal muscles, involuntary/non-striated muscles like those in the gastrointestinal tract, and cardiac muscles which are striated but involuntary. The basic unit of muscle is the sarcomere, which contains the contractile proteins actin and myosin. Muscles are named based on factors like the number of heads, the region of the body, size, shape, action, and length. The main parts of a muscle are the belly

    Muscles

    Are defined as specilised type of tissue which has


    got property of contractibility
    The word comes from the word mouse because
    muscle shows two parts origin & insertion & a
    fleshy belly
    The origin & insertion are mostely attached to
    bones & hence the muscle contracts the bone or
    joint moves
    The origin & insertion is called as attachment of
    muscle
    In our body there are three types of muscles
    1. Voluntary /striated /skeletal
    2. Involuntary / non striated – muscles which
    are involuntary in action e.g. muscles of RS
    GIT
    3. Cardiac - striated but involuntary in action
    The basic unit of muscle is sacromere
    Sacromere has contractile protein are known as
    actin & myocin
    In striated muscles arrangement of actin & myocin
    is regular there fore under microscope looks like
    striation
    In involuntary the arrangement of actin & myocin
    is irregular hence looks like non striated
    Nomenclature of muscle
    1. The muscle are named on the basis of no. of
    heads
    a) Two heads or belly – biceps
    b) Three heads - triceps

    4. According to shape
    a) Muscles having quandrangular in shape –
    quadratus
    b) Like delta - deltoid
    c) Like diamond - trapezius
    5. According to action
    a) Flexion of wrist – flexor carpi ulnaris
    ,radialis
    b) Supination - supinator
    c) Pronation - pronatar teres
    d) Flexion of thumb - flexor pollicis longus
    e) Extension
