Anatomical Structures, Cell Types, plus Biomarkers (ASCT+B) table for Muscular System, v1.1

[Anatomical Structures, Cell Types, plus Biomarkers (ASCT+B) tables](https://humanatlas.io/asctb-tables) aim to<br>capture anatomical human body parts, the typology of cells, and biomarkers used to identify cell types. The tables are<br>authored and reviewed by an international team of experts. This ASCT+B table contains a hierarchical “partonomy” of<br>the muscular system. The top level anatomical structure (“AS/1”) is “muscular system” for all structures. The second<br>level (“AS/2”) divides the musculature into body regions. The third level (“AS/3”) lists muscle groups; and, the<br>fourth level (“AS/4”) lists individual muscles. Finally, the fifth level (“AS/5”) contains parts of muscles. This<br>version of the muscular system ASCT+B table only contains skeletal muscles. Future versions will add cardiac and<br>smooth muscles. Note that the main purpose of this table is to provide a comprehensive list of muscles and their<br>location in the body. Individual muscles might have their own ASCT+B table, which provides more detail about its<br>anatomical structure, cell types and biomarkers.
