Parallel muscles are muscles that have their fibers arranged parallel to the length of the muscle, such as flat, fusiform, strap, radiate, or sphincter muscles.
These types of muscles are commonly found in the limbs of vertebrates and are responsible for movement, such as flexing and extending the limbs. They are not typically discussed within the context of psychology, which is the study of the mind and behavior.
