Elements of Myology (Elementorum Myologiae Specimen)

H B, this plane M N can be called the

A geometrical diagram depicts a rectangular plane labeled MN with dashed lines. Within this plane, several horizontal lines represent fibers, labeled with points A, B, C, D, E, G, H, I, K. Angles are marked where these lines intersect the boundaries of the central carnal section (labeled HG on the left and DB on the right).

Inflexed motive fiber.

13. A MOTIVE FIBER IS CALLED INFLEXED when, in the plane of the motive fiber M N, the tendons K M, I N are bent toward the flesh H G at the obtuse angles M K I and K I N, at which part the extreme planes C A and D B form acute angles E A B and B G E with the transverse planes C G and H B. The same is also shown in Table 1, Figure 2, where the tendons A B and C D, bent toward the flesh B C, form with it the alternate obtuse angles A B C and D C B.

Rectilinear motive fiber.

14. A MOTIVE FIBER IS CALLED RECTILINEAR whose flesh is extended in a straight line. There is no place here for dealing with the curvilinear fiber, whose flesh is curved, since only the definitions necessary for explaining a rectilinear muscle are provided here.

Motive fibers equal to each other.

15. MOTIVE FIBERS EQUAL TO EACH OTHER are those which are entirely equal to one another.

Motive fibers equally equal to each other.

16. MOTIVE FIBERS EQUALLY EQUAL TO EACH OTHER are those whose flesh is equal to
