MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Commonly, the epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium extend beyond the fleshy part of the muscle, the belly or gaster, to form a thick ropelike tendon or a broad, flat sheet-like aponeurosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -aponeurosis, a flat sheet or ribbon of tendonlike material that anchors a muscle or connects it with the part that the muscle moves. The aponeurosis is composed of dense fibrous connective tissue containing fibroblasts (collagen-secreting spindle-shaped cells) and bundles of collagenous fibres in ordered arrays.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aponeuroses are connective tissue sheaths found on the surface of pennate muscles. They are continuous with external tendons and serve as insertion sites for pennate muscle fascicles that do not extend from muscle origin to insertion (14).

Detailed explanation-4: -Aponeuroses are flat sheets of connective tissue in your body that are similar to tendons. They cover your muscles and help connect your muscles to your bones and cartilage. You have aponeuroses all over your body. They provide support for your muscles and they give your body strength and stability.
