2. Standard anatomical position - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_anatomical_position

   The standard anatomical position, or standard anatomical model, is the scientifically agreed upon reference position for anatomical location terms. Standard anatomical positions are used to standardise the position of appendages of animals with respect to the main body of the organism.

3. List of skeletal muscles of the human body - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_skeletal_muscles...

   There does not appear to be a definitive source counting all skeletal muscles. Different sources group muscles differently, regarding physical features as different parts of a single muscle or as several muscles. There are also vestigial muscles that are present in some people but absent in others, such as the palmaris longus muscle.

4. Anatomical plane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_plane

   An anatomical plane is a hypothetical plane used to transect the body, in order to describe the location of structures or the direction of movements. In human and non-human anatomy, three principal planes are used: The sagittal plane or lateral plane (longitudinal, anteroposterior) is a plane parallel to the sagittal suture. It divides the body ...

5. Anatomical terms of muscle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_muscle

   Different skeletal muscle types: A: fusiform. B: unipennate. C: bipennate. (PCS: physiological cross-section) Muscles may also be described by the direction that the muscle fibers run, in their muscle architecture. Fusiform muscles have fibers that run parallel to the length of the muscle, and are spindle-shaped. [19]

6. Anatomical terms of location - Wikipedia

   The frontal plane, also called the coronal plane, which divides the body into front and back. [2] The horizontal plane, also known as the transverse plane, which is perpendicular to the other two planes. [2] In a human, this plane is parallel to the ground; in a quadruped, this divides the animal into anterior and posterior sections. [3]

7. Skeletal muscle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_muscle

   Skeletal muscle (commonly referred to as muscle) is one of the three types of vertebrate muscle tissue, the other being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. They are part of the voluntary muscular system [ 1 ] and typically are attached by tendons to bones of a skeleton .
