Which type of muscle fascicle pattern has an appearance similar to a feather?
a. Fusiform
b. Triangular
c. Pennate
d. Parallel
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Introduction:
The functioning of the skeletal muscles is influenced greatly by the appearance and the structure of the fascicle arrangement. According to this arrangement, there are six fascicle patterns, namely, parallel, convergent, pennate, circular, spiral, and fusiform.
Answer to Problem 1CYR
Correct answer:
The fascicle and muscular fiber patterns of the pennate muscle are attached to a tendon at an angle, which gives it a feather-like apperance.
Explanation of Solution
Justification for the correct answer:
Option (c) is pennate. The fascicle pattern of the pennate muscle resembles a feather as all the fibers of the muscles are attached to a tendon in such a way that it gives the muscle the appearance of a feather. Hence, option (c) is correct.
Justification for incorrect answers:
Option (a) is fusiform. The fusiform muscles do not have a feather-like appearance as they are thick in the middle while the ends are tapered. Hence, it is false because this pattern does not resemble a feather. So, this option is incorrect.
Option (b) is triangular. The triangular muscle fascicle pattern has an appearance similar to that of feather but it is false as the shape of the fascicle pattern is not like that of a feather; the convergent or triangular muscle fascicle pattern is broad at one end and uniformly tapered toward a single tendon. Thus, they are not feather shaped. So, this option is incorrect.
Option (d) is parallel. The parallel muscle fascicle pattern is evenly spaced muscles just as the name implies, and the fascicles are arranged to a tendon that is of the same width; they have the appearance of a strap. Thus, the parallel muscle fascicle pattern does not have a feather-like appearance. So, this option is incorrect.
Hence, options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect
Thus, it can be concluded that different muscles possess varied muscle fascicle patterns. The pennate muscle fascicular pattern resembles a feather and it has different variations depending on the number of fascicle patterns, like unipennate, bipennate, and multipennate

- List substitutions in your diet you could make to improve it based on what you know now about a balanced diet. For instance, if you like to drink soda, you might substitute skim milk or water for some of the soft drinks you consumed. List the item you wish to replace with the new item and what you hope to accomplish with that substitution. Be sure to choose foods you know that you'd enjoy and you consider more "healthful." If you feel your diet is already balanced, describe how you accomplish your balanced intake and when you began eating this way.arrow_forwardWhich single food item contained you ate for the 3 days with the most sodium?arrow_forwardSelect a diet and choose one site that provides credible information.

In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple different routes of administration provides greater insight than just a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250 g rats following bolus iv, oral (po), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.Using this data and set of graphs, determine: (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data (c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip (e) absolute po bioavailability, (f)Fpo absolute ip bioavailability, Fip MAKE SURE ANSWERS HAVE UNITS if appropriate.

However, these methods do have limitations, and investigators may choose to use a radiolabeled analog of a drug instead. Radioligands are molecules that contain radioactive isotopes, commonly 3H or 14C. This technique allows investigators to quantify drug concentration from radiation measurements. The following measurements were made in 250 g rats following oral administration of 18.2 µCi of a 14C-labeled drug of interest: Time (min) Plasma Radiation Levels (µCi/L) 0 0.0 2 9.7 4 19.2 7 25.3 9 37.8 12 39.6 14 45.8 17 48.8 20 52.0 25 56.4 30 59.2 35 60.1 40 61.1 45 62.1 50 62.8 60 63.1 70 62.1 80 60.1 90 57.3 100 55.5 110 53.7 120 52.2 150 48.0 180 45.0 240 39.0 Note that a µCi is a measure of the amount of radioactivity and hence is a measure of the amount of drug present. Given that the oral bioavailability of this drug is known to be essentially 100%, estimate the following from this…arrow_forward
