V. LATIN MUSCLE NAMES
The Latin muscle names are composed of two elements:
1) the first element is the noun «muscle» - «muscŭlus»;
2) the second element is a masculine noun ending in –or (-ōris) or –er (-ēris).
E.g.: muscŭlus flexor –flexor muscle
In the Latin Anatomical Nomenclature all the muscle names aremasculine third declension nouns ending in:
- or, ōris m (e.g.: rotātor, ōris m);
- er, ēris m (e.g.: massēter, ēris m).
The Latin muscle names are usually translated into English without a word “muscle”, cf.:
· muscŭlus massēter - chewer;
· muscŭlus levātor – elevator etc.
Most of the muscle names are not translated but transliterated, i.e. reproduced with the Latin letters:
E.g.: muscŭlus pronātor – pronator.
Word order in the Latin muscle names:
1) word muscŭlus in Nominative;
2) name of the muscle – a masculine noun in Nominative ending in –or (-ōris) or –er (-ēris).
3) any other noun is in Genitive;
4) adjectivesare placed at the end of the term.
E.g.:
| Final position | |||
| Muscŭlus Muscŭlus | constrictor tensor | pharyngis fasciae | medius latae |
