Discover the Importance of Muscle Bellies in Generating Contractile Force

What is the widest portion of a muscle?

belly

The widest portion of a muscle is known as the belly or the fleshy part of the muscle. The belly is the central and thickest part of the muscle where the muscle fibers are densely packed and contractile. This is where most of the muscular force is generated during contraction. The length of the belly may vary depending on the specific muscle, but it is typically the region of the muscle that bulges when the muscle is flexed or contracted.
