What is the origin of the word muscle?
Muscle
Skeletal muscle is arranged in discrete muscles, an example of which is the biceps brachii (biceps). The tough, fibrous epimysium of skeletal muscle is both connected to and continuous with the tendons.  In turn, the tendons connect to the periosteum layer surrounding the bones, permitting the transfer of force from the muscles to the skeleton.  Together, these fibrous layers, along with tendons and ligaments, constitute the deep fascia of the body.
