Key actions include defining a muscle's `action` and `muscleAction` (the movement it generates), identifying its `antagonist` (counteracting muscle), and specifying its `bloodSupply` (vessel delivering blood). Additional data includes `insertion` (attachment point), `nerve` (innervation), and `origin` (muscle's starting point).\n"]]
