Chapter 10, Problem 3CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The muscle with maximum shortening capability and two most powerful muscles on the basis of arrangment of fascicles (figure 10.2).
Introduction:
The fascicles are the bundle of fibers present in all skeletal muscles. The arrangement of fascicles consists a lot of variation, and results in different shapes and functions of muscles. On the basis of fascicle arrangement, muscles are divided into four types: circular, convergent, parallel and pennate.
