A) the angle of the muscle relative to the long axis of the body.
B) the action of the muscle.
C) the location of the muscle.
D) structural characteristics of the muscle.
E) the collagen content of the muscle.

Accepted Answer

The names of the muscles typically do not indicate the collagen content of the muscle. Collagen content is not typically a characteristic that is easily discernible based solely on the name of the muscle. The other choices (A, B, C, and D) are all common types of information that can be conveyed by the name of a muscle.
