Question

naming skeletal muscles
like bones, muscles come in many shapes and sizes to suit their particular tasks in the body. muscles are named on the basis of several criteria, each of which focuses on a particular (1. ) or functional characteristic. paying close attention to these cues can greatly simplify your task of learning muscle names and actions.
direction of the muscle fibers. some muscles are named in reference to some (2. ) line, usually the mid - line of the body or the long axis of a limb bone. when a muscles name includes the term rectus (straight), its fibers run parallel to that imaginary line. for example, the rectus femoris is the straight muscle of the thigh. similarly, the term (3. ) in a muscles name tells you that the muscle fibers run obliquely (at a slant) to the imaginary line.
relative size of the muscle. such terms as maximus (largest), minimus (smallest), and longus (long) are sometimes used in the names of muscles - for example, the gluteus maximus is the largest muscle of the (4. ) muscle group.
location of the muscle. some muscles are named for the (5. ) with which they are associated. for example, the temporalis and frontalis muscles overlie the temporal and frontal bones of the skull, respectively.

o 1. gluteus 2. bone 3. structural 4. imaginary 5. oblique
o 1. structural 2. imaginary 3. oblique 4. gluteus 5. bone

Explanation:

1. Muscles are named based on structural or functional characteristics.
2. Muscle - fiber direction is related to an imaginary line.
3. The term "oblique" indicates oblique - running fibers.
4. Gluteus maximus is the largest in the gluteus muscle group.
5. Some muscles are named after the bone they are associated with.

Answer:

1. structural
2. imaginary
3. oblique
4. gluteus
5. bone
