Muscle \Mus"cle\, n. [F., fr. L. musculus a muscle, a little       mouse, dim. of mus a mouse. See {Mouse}, and cf. sense 3       (below).]       1. (Anat.)             (a) An organ which, by its contraction, produces motion.                   See Illust. of Muscles of the Human Body, in Appendix.             (b) The contractile tissue of which muscles are largely                   made up.          Note: Muscles are of two kinds, striated and nonstriated. The                striated muscles, which, in most of the higher animals,                constitute the principal part of the flesh, exclusive                of the fat, are mostly under the control of the will,                or voluntary, and are made up of great numbers of                elongated fibres bound together into bundles and                inclosed in a sheath of connective tissue, the                perimysium. Each fiber is inclosed in a delicate                membrane (the sarcolemma), is made up of alternate                segments of lighter and darker material which give it a                transversely striated appearance, and contains,                scattered through its substance, protoplasmic nuclei,                the so-called muscle corpuscles. The nonstriated                muscles are involuntary. They constitute a large part                of the walls of the alimentary canal, blood vessels,                uterus, and bladder, and are found also in the iris,                skin, etc. They are made up of greatly elongated cells,                usually grouped in bundles or sheets.          2. Muscular strength or development; as, to show one's muscle             by lifting a heavy weight. [Colloq.]          3. [AS. muscle, L. musculus a muscle, mussel. See above.]             (Zo[94]l.) See {Mussel}.          {Muscle curve} (Physiol.), contraction curve of a muscle; a             myogram; the curve inscribed, upon a prepared surface, by             means of a myograph when acted upon by a contracting             muscle. The character of the curve represents the extent             of the contraction.

Sugar \Sug"ar\, n. [OE. sugre, F. sucre (cf. It. zucchero, Sp.       az[a3]car), fr. Ar. sukkar, assukkar, fr. Skr. [87]arkar[be]       sugar, gravel; cf. Per. shakar. Cf. {Saccharine}, {Sucrose}.]       1. A sweet white (or brownish yellow) crystalline substance,             of a sandy or granular consistency, obtained by             crystallizing the evaporated juice of certain plants, as             the sugar cane, sorghum, beet root, sugar maple, etc. It             is used for seasoning and preserving many kinds of food             and drink. Ordinary sugar is essentially sucrose. See the             Note below.          Note: The term sugar includes several commercial grades, as                the white or refined, granulated, loaf or lump, and the                raw brown or muscovado. In a more general sense, it                includes several distinct chemical compounds, as the                glucoses, or grape sugars (including glucose proper,                dextrose, and levulose), and the sucroses, or true                sugars (as cane sugar). All sugars are carbohydrates.                See {Carbohydrate}. The glucoses, or grape sugars, are                ketone alcohols of the formula {C6H12O6}, and they turn                the plane of polarization to the right or the left.                They are produced from the amyloses and sucroses, as by                the action of heat and acids of ferments, and are                themselves decomposed by fermentation into alcohol and                carbon dioxide. The only sugar (called acrose) as yet                produced artificially belongs to this class. The                sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose                anhydrides of the formula {C12H22O11}. They are usually                not fermentable as such (cf. {Sucrose}), and they act                on polarized light.          2. By extension, anything resembling sugar in taste or             appearance; as, sugar of lead (lead acetate), a poisonous             white crystalline substance having a sweet taste.          3. Compliment or flattery used to disguise or render             acceptable something obnoxious; honeyed or soothing words.             [Colloq.]          {Acorn sugar}. See {Quercite}.          {Cane sugar}, sugar made from the sugar cane; sucrose, or an             isomeric sugar. See {Sucrose}.          {Diabetes}, [or] {Diabetic}, {sugar} (Med. Chem.), a variety             of sugar (probably grape sugar or dextrose) excreted in             the urine in diabetes mellitus.          {Fruit sugar}. See under {Fruit}, and {Fructose}.          {Grape sugar}, a sirupy or white crystalline sugar (dextrose             or glucose) found as a characteristic ingredient of ripe             grapes, and also produced from many other sources. See             {Dextrose}, and {Glucose}.          {Invert sugar}. See under {Invert}.          {Malt sugar}, a variety of sugar isomeric with sucrose, found             in malt. See {Maltose}.          {Manna sugar}, a substance found in manna, resembling, but             distinct from, the sugars. See {Mannite}.          {Milk sugar}, a variety of sugar characteristic of fresh             milk, and isomeric with sucrose. See {Lactose}.          {Muscle sugar}, a sweet white crystalline substance isomeric             with, and formerly regarded to, the glucoses. It is found             in the tissue of muscle, the heart, liver, etc. Called             also {heart sugar}. See {Inosite}.          {Pine sugar}. See {Pinite}.          {Starch sugar} (Com. Chem.), a variety of dextrose made by             the action of heat and acids on starch from corn,             potatoes, etc.; -- called also {potato sugar}, {corn             sugar}, and, inaccurately, {invert sugar}.
