| The innermost muscle of the abdominal wall is the | Transverse abdominis |
| The fibrous connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle and is outside the epimysium and tendon is called the | Fascia |
| In addition to the Pectoralis major, another muscle that displays this pattern of fascicle arrangement is Latissimus dorsi. | Convergent |
| A muscle with fascicles that insert into only one side of the tendon is categorized as | Unipennate |
| The biceps brachii has this fascicle arrangement, which maximizes the range of motion possible. | Parallel |
| This arrangement of muscle fascicles tends to be triangular in shape. The Pectoralis major is an example of a muscle with this type of muscle fascicle arrangement. | Convergent |
| Another name for a sphincter muscle is a _____ muscle. | Circular |
| The sternocleidomastoid muscle is an example of a muscle named for its: | Points of attachment |
| The muscle that allows the thumb to be drawn across the palm to touch the tip of any finger is the: | Opponens pollicis |
