The muscle belly is the main bulk of the muscle, made up of many layers of tissue surrounded by fascia (sheets of connective tissue running throughout your body).

The structure of a muscle, from macro (large) to micro (small) is:

1. muscle belly - a bundle of fascicles

2. fascicle - a bundle of fibers

3. fiber - a muscle cell (bundle of myofibrils)

4. myofibril - a bundle of myofilaments

5. filament - actin & myosin proteins

The fascia in the muscle, called deep fascia (as opposed to superficial fascia which lies just beneath the skin) has 3 layers:

1. epimysium - an overcoat of dense connective tissue surrounding the entire muscle

2. perimysium - fibrous connective tissue that surrounds each fascicle (bundle of muscle fibers)

3. endomysium - sheath of connective tissue surrounding each muscle fiber

What is the middle part of a muscle known as?

The "middle" part of a muscle is the muscle belly. For instance, the peak of the biceps is the belly of that muscle - it is the part of the biceps musculotendinous unit that can be contracted, as in "make a muscle" when flexing the biceps. Musculotendinous unit: A muscle is anchored at both ends, usually by tendons, so that when a muscle is flexed or shortened concentrically, the muscle fibers pull closer together and the tendons pull on the bones that they are attached to, closing the joint angle that the muscle affects - in this case, bringing the forearm closer to the upper arm, decreasing the joint angle at the elbow.
