Muscle fibers within a skeletal muscle forms bundles called fascicles. The muscle fibers in the fascicles are muscle fibers in the fascicles arearranged in four basic patterns of
organization. Which are -

Parallel Muscles - the fascicles are present parallel to the long axis of the muscle. This muscle orientation is most common among skeletal muscles.
convergent muscles - All the fibres of muscles are attached at the common area and based over a broad area .
Circular muscles - The muscles are concentrically arranged around openings.
Pennate musclese - Here the fascicles form a common angle with the tendon and the muscle takes on the shape of a feather at the apexes.

1. Gluteus Maximus - Convergent muscle

2. semimembranosus - Pennate

3. semitendinosus - Pennate

4. bicep femoris - Parallel

5. vastus medialis - Pennate (Unipennate)

6. vastus intermedius -Pennate

7. vastus lateralis - pennate (Unipennate)

8. gastrocnemius - Pennate (bipennate)

9. soleus -Pennate (Unipennate)

10. tibialis anterior - pennate (unipennate)

11.Gracilis - Parellel muscle

13. Psoas major - Pennate

By this way all muscles can be divided in different categories.
