If the extremity of the muscle has a large surface for attachment, its tendon is expanded into a broad membranous portion termed an Apo- neurosis, as may be seen in the muscles inclosing the abdo- men ; while the greater portion of the muscles have a fleshy portion called the Swell or Belly, and the tendinous portion contracted into the shape of a cord, or even of a thread. In general this belly of the muscle is in a place which is the most firmly fixed, and distant from the point to be moved, in order to effect grace of motion, and beauty of form. Fig. 126. A Radiate Muscle. 232. Forms of Muscles.—In form the muscles present a great diversity. A Radiate Muscle (Fig. 126) is one where the fibres radiate from a central portion to distribute them- selves upon a large surface. In the Fusiform (Fig. 127) the Fig. 121.
