How are muscle fibers arranged to form a muscle?
Muscle fibers can be arranged into two basic structural patterns, fusiform and pinnate. Most human muscles are fusiform, with the fibers largely arranged parallel along the muscle's longitudinal axis. In many of the larger muscles the fibers are inserted obliquely into the tendon, and this arrangement resembles a feather. The fibers in a pinnate (feather) muscle are shorter than those of a fusiform muscle. The arrangement of pinnate muscle fibers can be single or double, as in muscles of the forearm, or multipinnate, as in the gluteus maximus or deltoid.
What arrangement of cardiac muscle fibers make the heart efficient?
The cardiac muscle is arranged spirally around the heart to make it more efficient.
What is the medial longitudinal fasciculus?
A bundle of fibers in the brainstem
How are molecules in wood arranged?

What do you call collection of nerve fibers in the brain longitudinal in form?

Why are muscles arranged in circular and longitudinal layer?
In smooth muscle these transitionally alternating muscle fibers help to serve the actions of peristalsis. As the circular fibers contract the tube (lumen) constricts and as the longitudinal fibers contract it opens up the lumen.
What is the muscle fiber arrangement in a pennate muscle?
short fibers, arranged obliquely to their tendons

In the gastrointestinal tract where is myenteric plexus?
in wall of GIT the muscularis layer is composed of longitudinal and circuler fibers and the myentric nerve which is the part of enteric nervoius system is present between the longitudinal and circuler fibers
What muscle arrangement fibers run tangentially or feather?
The Pennate arrangement. The fascicles attach obliquely to the tendon.
Quartz crystals arranged in parallel fibers a gemstone?
chalcedony
How does the collagen structure of hypertrophic scars differ from that of keloids?
The collagen fibers in a hypertrophic scar are shorter and generally arranged in a wavelike pattern, whereas the collagen fibers in keloids tend to be randomly arranged
What fissure separates the cerebral hemispheres?
Longitudinal Fissure the longitudinal fissure
