| The word muscle means
little
mouse in Latin from the fancied resemblance of the muscle
body contracting beneath the skin. This contractile body, the muscle
proper, is usually attached to two bony points. Muscles are
said to have an origin at one end and an insertion at the other. --D. R. Johnson, Ph.D. |
