Fascicules in a convergent muscle converge on a common attachment site, which may be a slender band of collagen fibers known as Raphe.
What is convergent muscle?
- A muscle is referred to as convergent when its fascicles extend widely over a significant area before coming together at a single attachment point.
- A convergent muscle's attachment site may be a raphe, an aponeurosis (a flat, broad tendon), or a tendon (a very slender tendon).
- Fascicles in multipennate muscles attach to numerous tendons, tapering inward toward a single tendon like many feathers convergent at one point.
- The deltoid muscle of the shoulder, which covers the shoulder yet only has one tendon that enters on the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus, is a typical example.
