    Muscle \Mus"cle\ (m[u^]s"'l), n. [F., fr. L. musculus a muscle,
    a little mouse, dim. of mus a mouse. See {Mouse}, and cf.
    sense 3 (below).]
    1. (Anat.)
    (a) An organ which, by its contraction, produces motion.
    See Illust. of Muscles of the Human Body, in Appendix.
    (b) The contractile tissue of which muscles are largely
    made up.

    Note: Muscles are of two kinds, striated and nonstriated. The
    striated muscles, which, in most of the higher animals,
    constitute the principal part of the flesh, exclusive
    of the fat, are mostly under the control of the will,
    or voluntary, and are made up of great numbers of
    elongated fibres bound together into bundles and
    inclosed in a sheath of connective tissue, the
    perimysium. Each fiber is inclosed in a delicate
    membrane (the sarcolemma), is made up of alternate
    segments of lighter and darker material which give it a
    transversely striated appearance, and contains,
    scattered through its substance, protoplasmic nuclei,
    the so-called muscle corpuscles.
    ※ The nonstriated muscles are involuntary.
    They constitute a large part of the walls of the
    alimentary canal, blood vessels, uterus, and bladder,
    and are found also in the iris, skin, etc. They are
    made up of greatly elongated cells, usually grouped in
    bundles or sheets.

    2. Muscular strength or development; as, to show one's muscle
    by lifting a heavy weight. [Colloq.]

    3. [AS. muscle, L. musculus a muscle, mussel. See above.]

    myogram; the curve inscribed, upon a prepared surface, by
    means of a myograph when acted upon by a contracting
    muscle. The character of the curve represents the extent
    of the contraction.
