Synonym: musculus articularis genus, articular muscle of knee, Dupre's muscle, subcrural muscle, subcruralis, subcrureus, subquadricipital muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| bellies of omohyoid muscle | <anatomy> See: inferior belly of omohyoid muscle, superior belly of omohyoid muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bell's muscle | <anatomy> A band of muscular fibres, forming a slight fold in the wall of the bladder, running from the uvula to the opening of the ureter on either side, bounding the trigonum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biceps muscle of arm | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, long head from supraglenoidal tuberosity of scapula, short head from coracoid process; insertion, tuberosity of radius; action, flexes and supinates forearm (it is the primary supinator of the forearm); nerve supply, musculocutaneous. Synonym: musculus biceps brachii, biceps muscle of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biceps muscle of thigh | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, long head (caput longum) from tuberosity of ischium, short head (caput breve) from lower half of lateral lip of linea aspera; insertion, head of fibula; action, flexes knee and rotates leg laterally; nerve supply, long head, tibial, short head, peroneal.

| biopsy, muscle | <investigation, procedure, surgery> A procedure which involves the removal of a small specimen of muscle tissue for microscopic analysis. A muscle biopsy is used to distinguish between neurological and myopathic (muscle disease) disorders, identify muscular dystrophy, diagnose muscle infections and identify connective tissue disorders (necrotising vasculitis). (21 Mar 1998) |
| bipennate muscle | <anatomy> A muscle with a central tendon toward which the fibres converge on either side like the barbs of a feather. Synonym: musculus bipennatus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Bowman's muscle | <anatomy> The smooth muscle of the ciliary body; it consists of circular fibres (Muller's muscle) and radiating fibres (meridional fibres, or Brucke's muscle); action, in contracting, its diameter is reduced (like a sphincter), reducing tensile (stretching) forces on lens, allowing it to thicken for near vision (accommodation). Synonym: musculus ciliaris, Bowman's muscle, ciliary ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
