Muscle Structure and Function
Understanding the structure of muscles involves recognizing the different types of muscle fibers and how they connect to tendons and bones. For instance, fusiform muscles like the biceps have straight fibers aligning with tendons, while other muscles like the rectus femoris have pinnation involving connective tissue at different angles. This structural diversity impacts muscle function and potential injury risks, highlighting the importance of muscle anatomy awareness.
