Provide a short description of the observed characteristic of the muscle type in the photo, and observe the muscle type in terms of color, striations, and appearance.
Repetitive extension of the hand at the wrist and abduction of the hand can lead to lateral epicondylitis. Although sometimes called "tennis elbow". it more often affects individuals who don't play tennis. Based on the name lateral epicondylitis and the action described above, which muscle would most likely have microscopic tears in the tendon?
