Sarcomere
AnatomyBasic contractile unit of muscle
Sarcomere — basic contractile unit of muscle fiber. Composed of actin and myosin filaments.
Tendon
AnatomyConnective tissue connecting muscle to bone
Tendon — connective tissue transferring muscle force to bone. In Millard/DeGrooteFregly models accounted for via tendon_slack_length.
Tibia
AnatomyTibia — the shinbone
The shinbone — main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg.
EN: Tibia
Агонист
AnatomyThe prime muscle (or muscle group) directly producing a movement: its contraction generates the main driving torque at the joint.
EN: Agonist
Антагонист
AnatomyA muscle on the opposite side of the joint producing torque opposite to the agonist; reciprocally inhibited in healthy coordination.
EN: Antagonist
Косые мышцы живота
AnatomyExternal / Internal Oblique

AnatomyThe muscle groups that extend and rotate the spine and hold posture.
EN: Erector Spinae
Ромбовидные
AnatomyRhomboid Major / Rhomboid Minor
Retract and slightly depress the scapula, stabilizing the shoulder girdle.
EN: Rhomboids
Синергист
AnatomyA muscle assisting the agonist: contracting in the same direction, adding force or taking over part of the work in a specific phase.
EN: Synergist
Стабилизатор
AnatomyA muscle that produces no driving torque but isometrically fixes a joint or body position, providing a base for agonists and synergists.
EN: Stabilizer
Трапеция
AnatomyTrapezius — trapezius muscle
Scapular strap muscle: upper part elevates, middle retracts, the lower depresses.
EN: Trapezius
