Naming Muscles:
As you already know, many of the terms used in anatomy and physiology are derived from Latin and Greek words. So if you can pick apart a term into its roots and stems, you can tell a lot about the structure and sometimes even the location of a muscle.
Muscles are named based on 7 characteristics including direction of the fibers, location, shape, relative size, attachments, origins and actions. Complete the table below with information related to each of these 7 characteristics. Label the diagrams where appropriate.
