Excerpt from A System of Human Anatomy, Vol. 3: Including Its Medical and Surgical Relations; Muscles and Fasciæ

Other modifications of a topographical arrangement are implied in the use of such terms as intrinsic and extrinsic. The Biceps Flexor Cubiti is an intrinsic muscle of the superior extremity; while the Pectoralis Major is an extrinsic muscle, since, notwithstanding its insertion into the superior extremity, it secures its origin from the thorax.

Muscular masses may have a broad origin and a small insertion, such as the Temporal muscle and the Latissimus Dorsi; or they mav have a small origin and a large surface of insertion, as the Adductor Magnus; or they may have origins and insertions of nearly equal proportions, as the Masseter.
