The fact that this muscle is a joke...
editThere should be something on here that this muscle is a joke... because it is named "digastric" since it has 2 "bellies". So got 2 gastric cavities, hence di-gastric, or 2 bellies... Get it? So it's meant to be a joke... would be nice to include something about the etymology here 2001:8003:6A23:2C00:BC43:79FA:F9B6:D006 (talk) 12:18, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- Most muscles are named after their appearance in latin, so this is not something that's new. In terms of etymology, it's stated in the first sentence: "The digastric muscle (also digastricus) (named digastric as it has two 'bellies')". The joke you are referring to is lost on me, but it seems to be an entertaining one :) --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:47, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
