    The document provides a classification of muscle types including: 1) Color classification of red and white muscle fibers 2) Directional classifications of muscle fibers including parallel, pennate, unipennate, bipennate, and multipennate fibers 3) Force classifications of muscle including spurt and shunt muscles 4) Anatomical terms used to describe muscles including origin, insertion, muscle belly, and aponeurosis 5) Three main types of muscle - smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscle - classified by cell type and location in the body.

    Muscle Classification 1
    Classification Type Description Example

    fleshy, one directional


    Direction of fibers unipennate peroneus tertius
    connection to tendon

    two directional,
    Direction of fibers bipennate centrally placed on Rectus femoris
    tendon (along axis)

    superfacial and deep


    Direction of fibers cruciate massater
    plane, cross like “X”

    Force of action spurt acceleration motion brachialis

    stabilizing centripetal
    Force of action shunt flexor carpi radialis
    force

    Term Placement Characteristics

    origin proximal muscles attachment fleshy, fixed end

    fibrous (flat and narrow), point


    insertion distal muscle attachment
    of movement
    muscle belly central portion of muscle capable of contraction

    aponeurosis thin sheet of tendons wide area of attachment

    tendon connects muscle to bone connective tissue band

    ligament extended from bone to bone connective tissue band

    smallest unit capable of


    Myofiber inside fascicle
    contraction
    myofibrils inside myofibers
