(internal organs) to move the ingesta from the stomach
to the rectum, and are structurally smooth. The cardiac
muscle is responsible for the contraction of the heart, and
it is a combination of the two precedent muscles.
The tendons are important adnexa of the skeletal
muscles. They facilitate the insertion (attachment) of most
of the muscles on bones. A widened tendon in the form of
an expanded sheet is called an aponeurosis. The superfi cial
muscles are covered by a connective tissue layer called
fascia, which does not allow the muscles to exceed a
certain volume during the contraction. The superfi cial
fasciae, as well as the deep fasciae send septa separating
the muscles from each other. Each muscle has at least one
origin and one insertion. The origin is attached to the bone,
which doesn't move, whereas with the insertion, the
muscle pulls the bone and provides movement.
The following sections discuss the skeletal muscles of
the goat selected by regions.
