Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the context of muscle naming conventions in anatomy. Muscle names often provide information about their location, function, or characteristics.

Step 2: Review the common criteria used in naming muscles: region of the body, direction relative to the body's axis, structural characteristics, and action performed.

Step 3: Analyze each option provided in the problem to determine which one does not fit the criteria for muscle naming.

Step 4: Recognize that 'myofibril composition of the muscle' refers to the microscopic structure of muscle fibers, which is not typically used in naming muscles.

Step 5: Conclude that the exception in muscle naming conventions is the 'myofibril composition of the muscle,' as it does not relate to the typical naming criteria.
