| muscular atrophy | Derangement in size and number of muscle fibres occurring with aging, reduction in blood supply, or following immobilization, prolonged weightlessness, malnutrition, and particularly in denervation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| muscular atrophy, spinal | Progressive degenerative disorder of motor neurons in the spinal cord, brainstem, and motor cortex, manifested clinically by muscular weakness, atrophy, and corticospinal tract signs in varying combinations. (12 Dec 1998) |
| muscular branches | Usually unnamed branches of nerves or vessels that supply the muscles. Synonym: rami musculares. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscular dystrophy | A group of diseases characterised by progressive degeneration and/or loss of muscle fibres without nervous system involvement. All or nearly all of them have a hereditary origin but details of the type of genetic defect and of the prognosis for the disease vary from type to type. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy) is the most common form. It is due to a sex-linked recessive allele and this is expressed as an absence of the protein dystrophin, the disease in boys shows extensive but insufficient muscle fibre reformation from satellite cells.

| muscular fascia of extraocular muscle | Muscular fascia; the part of the orbital fascia that envelops the extraocular muscles; it is thin posteriorly but becomes thicker where it is continuous with the bulbar sheath; the fascial sheaths of the four rectus muscles are connected by an intermuscular membrane. Synonym: fascia muscularis musculorum bulbi, fascia of extraocular muscles, muscular fascia of extraocular muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscular fibril | <cell biology> Long cylindrical organelle of striated muscle, composed of regular arrays of thick and thin filaments and constituting the contractile apparatus. (18 Nov 1997) |

| muscular incompetence | Imperfect closure of an anatomically normal cardiac valve, in consequence of defective action of its papillary muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscular insufficiency | Failure of any muscle to contract with its normal force, especially such failure of any of the eye muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscular lacuna | The lateral compartment beneath the inguinal (Poupart's) ligament, for the passage of the iliopsoas muscle and femoral nerve; it is separated by the iliopectineal arch from the vascular lacuna. Synonym: lacuna musculorum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscular layer of mucosa | The thin layer of smooth muscle found in most parts of the digestive tube located outside the lamina propria mucosae and adjacent to the tela submucosa. Synonym: lamina muscularis mucosae, muscular layer of mucosa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscular movement | Movement caused by the contraction of the myofibrils of the muscle cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscular part of interventricular septum of heart | The thick muscular portion which comprises most of the interventricular septum of the heart. Synonym: pars muscularis septi interventricularis cordis, septum musculare ventriculorum. (05 Mar 2000) |
