Attachment of muscle's tendon to the movable bone
The fleshy portion of muscle between the tendons
Belly
Tenosynovitis
Inflammation of tendons, tendon sheaths, and synovial membranes surrounding joints.
Lever and it's parts
Rigid structure that moves about a Fulcrum. One side is the Effort, One side is the Load/Resistance
Leverage and two types
Mechanical advantage is smaller effort moving heavier load

Mechanical Disadvantage is greater effort moving smaller load. Which is what allows fast pitching
First Class Lever
Siccor - Load and Effort are on opposite sides of fulcrum
Second Class Lever
Wheelbarrow - Load is closer to Fulcrum
Third Class Lever
Tweezer - Effort is closer to fulcrum
Parallel Muscle
Muscle that have fascicles parallel to longitudal axis of muscle

Terminates at either end in flat tendons
Fusiform Muscle
Cigar shaped muscle with a fat belly
Circular Muscle
Muscle that have fascicles in concentric circular arrangements to form sphincter muscles to enclose an orafice

a.k.a Prime mover that contracts to cause the action
Antagonist Muscle
The muscle that stretches and yields to effects of the Prime Mover
Synergist Muscle
Muscle that contract to stabilize intermediate joints between muscles
Fixator Muscle
Muscle that stabilizes origin of the prime mover to so that it can act more efficiently
Limb Compartment
Group of skeletal muscles, their blood vessels, and associated nerves, which all have a common function
4 benefits of stretching
