  2. Latissimus dorsi muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latissimus_dorsi_muscle

    The latissimus dorsi is a potential source of muscle for breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy (e.g., Mannu flap) [12] or to correct pectoral hypoplastic defects such as Poland's syndrome. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] An absent or hypoplastic latissimus dorsi can be one of the associated symptoms of Poland's syndrome.

  3. Muscular evolution in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_evolution_in_humans

    Humans' limb muscles tend to be more biased toward fatigue-resistant, slow twitch Type I muscle fibers. [12] While there is no proof that modern humans have become physically weaker than past generations of humans, inferences from such things as bone robusticity and long bone cortical thickness can be made as a representation of physical strength.

  4. Laddu - Wikipedia

    Wheat flour laddus Til (sesame seed) laddus Rice flour laddus. Every region of India has its own version of laddu. In Rajasthan, laddus are made from wheat flour, in Maharashtra from sesame seeds, in Kerala from rice flour, and in Andhra Pradesh from rice flakes. Optional ingredients include grated coconut, roasted chickpeas, nuts, and raisins. [1]

  5. Anatomical terms of muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_muscle

    The origin of a muscle is the bone, typically proximal, which has greater mass and is more stable during a contraction than a muscle's insertion. [14] For example, with the latissimus dorsi muscle, the origin site is the torso, and the insertion is the arm. When this muscle contracts, normally the arm moves due to having less mass than the torso.

  7. Pes anserinus (leg) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pes_anserinus_(leg)

    The three tendons, from front to back, that conjoin to form the pes anserinus come from the sartorius muscle, the gracilis muscle, and the semitendinosus muscle. [1] [2] It inserts onto the proximal anteromedial surface of the tibia. [2] The pes anserinus is around 5 cm below the medial tibial joint line. [2]

  9. Axillary arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axillary_arch

    The axillary arch is an arch-shaped anatomical variant of the latissimus dorsi muscle of the human back. [6] [7] Its shape varies, but its defining characteristics are its origin from the latissimus dorsi muscle, its insertion close to or on the upper anterior part of the humerus, and that it crosses the neurovascular bundle associated with the axillary nerve from dorsomedial to ventrolateral.
