Introduction
-
Myology deals with the study of muscles (musculi) and their accessory structures such as the fasciae and synovial membranes
-
The muscles are highly specialized organs, which have the property of contracting under the influence of a stimulus
-
This is termed as contractibility and this phenomenon helps them to move those parts of the body to which they are attached
-
They are the active part of the locomotion. Sylvius is the anthropotomist, who first named the muscles
-
There are three different types of muscles that make up the muscular system viz.,
-
-
Fascia
-
Superficial fascia
-
Deep fascia
-
Synovial membranes
-
Synovial bursa
-
Tendon sheath
