Etymology of MUSCULUS STERNOFASCIALIS
The word "musculus sternofascialis" is a Latin term that can be broken down into two parts:
1. Musculus: The Latin term for "muscle". It is derived from the Ancient Greek word "mousikos", which means "of the Muses", as the appearance of muscles was compared to the graceful lines of the Muses in Greek mythology.
2. Sternofascialis: This term combines two parts, "sterno" and "fascialis".
- Sterno: It is derived from the Latin word "sternum", meaning "breastbone" or "chest". It refers to the flat bone located in the middle of the front of the rib cage.
- Fascialis: It comes from the Latin word "facies", which means "face". Fascialis relates to the face or facial region.
