   • musculus pectoralis, pecs, pectoral, pectoral muscle, pectoralis - either of two large muscles of the chest
   • intercostal, intercostal muscle, musculus intercostalis - muscles between the ribs; they contract during inspiration
   • depressor, depressor muscle - any skeletal muscle that draws a body part down
   • ab, abdominal, abdominal muscle - the muscles of the abdomen
   • lat, latissimus dorsi - a broad flat muscle on either side of the back
   • glute, gluteal muscle, gluteus, gluteus muscle - any one of three large skeletal muscles that form the buttock and move the thigh
   • musculus sphincter ani externus - an external ring of striated muscle surrounding the anus
   • calf, sura - the muscular back part of the shank
   • gastrocnemius, gastrocnemius muscle - the muscle in the back part of the leg that forms the greater part of the calf; responsible for the plantar flexion of the foot
   • psoas - either of two muscles of the abdomen and pelvis that flex the trunk and rotate the thigh
   • rhomboid, rhomboid muscle - any of several muscles of the upper back that help move the shoulder blade
   • soleus, soleus muscle - a broad flat muscle in the calf of the leg under the gastrocnemius muscle
   • splenius, splenius muscle - either of two flat muscles that extend from the upper vertebrae to the base of the skull and serve to rotate or flex or extend the head and neck
   • peroneus - muscle of the lower leg that is involved in moving the foot
   • pterygoid muscle - muscle descending from the sphenoid bone to the lower jaw
   • biceps - any skeletal muscle having two origins (but especially the muscle that flexes the forearm)
   • triceps - any skeletal muscle having three origins (but especially the triceps brachii)
   • axial muscle - a skeletal muscle of the trunk or head
   • musculus sartorius, sartorius, sartorius muscle - a muscle in the thigh that helps to rotate the leg into the sitting position assumed by a tailor; the longest muscle in the human body
   • musculus scalenus, scalene muscle, scalenus - any of four pairs of muscles extending from the cervical vertebrae to the second rib; involved in moving the neck and in breathing
   • musculus sternocleidomastoideus, sternocleido mastoideus, sternocleidomastoid, sternocleidomastoid muscle - one of two thick muscles running from the sternum and clavicle to the mastoid and occipital bone; turns head obliquely to the opposite side; when acting together they flex the neck and extend the head
   • teres, teres muscle - either of two muscles in the shoulder region that move the shoulders and arms
   • musculus tibialis, tibialis, tibialis muscle - either of two skeletal muscle in each leg arising from the tibia; provides for movement of the foot
   • cowl muscle, musculus trapezius, trapezius, trapezius muscle - either of two flat triangular muscles of the shoulder and upper back that are involved in moving the shoulders and arms
   • facial muscle - any of the skeletal muscles of the face
   • musculus temporalis, temporal muscle, temporalis, temporalis muscle - muscle extending from the temporal fossa to the coronoid process of the mandible; acts to raise the mandible and close the jaws
   has:

   • head - that part of a skeletal muscle that is away from the bone that it moves
   • striated muscle cell, striated muscle fiber - an elongated contractile cell in striated muscle tissue
   same as: skeletal muscle
