What kind of muscle is thick in the middle and tapered at each end?
fusiform
Is the adductor longus parallel or pennate?
parallel
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.
Are muscles are bundles of muscle fibers d together by connective tissue?
muscles are made up of cells
What are examples of muscular system?
Some examples are smooth muscle and cardiac muscle.
What is the body shape of squirrelfish?
fusiform
Describe the differences between a fusiform and pennate muscle?
In non pennate or fusiform structure, fibers run in line with the line of pull. There is a longer fiber length associated with a fusiform structure, but often not a very thick cross-section -Weaker overall, but greater ROM (range of movement) making it good for speed In a pennate or penniform muscle structure, there is an oblique fiber pattern. Fibers do not pull in the same direction as the line of muscle pull. There is a shorter fiber length but usually a thicker cross sectional area. -There are three pennate types 1) Unipennate: One-sided feather such as in the semimembranous 2) Bipennate: Two-sided feather such as in the gastrocnemius 3) Multipennate: many-headed two sided feather such as in the deltoids -Good for strength, smaller ROM, meaning it is not as great for speed
What shape is a white shark?
Sharks are typically "fusiform".
What are examples of skeletal muscle?
The biceps - any muscle attached to the skeleton.
What function of the smooth muscle that the structure complements or ensures?
The smooth muscle plays a key role in regulating the diameter of blood vessels, thus controlling blood flow and pressure. Its ability to contract and relax helps to ensure proper circulation and distribution of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
