rectus abdominis
Sharpey's Fibers
Some examples of pennate muscles in the human body include the deltoid muscle in the shoulder, the rectus femoris muscle in the thigh, and the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle in the forearm. These muscles have fibers that run obliquely to the tendon, which allows for greater force generation.
The muscle fibers in frogs are arranged in a specific pattern to facilitate movement. They are oriented in layers and run in different directions to provide strength and flexibility. This arrangement allows frogs to have efficient and powerful muscle contractions for activities like jumping and swimming.
They are different type of muscle fibres (US spelling Fibers). Fast twitch are good at contracting fast but fatigue quickly. Slow twitch contract more slowly but do not fatigue as fast. In athletes, sprinters tend to have a dominance of slow twitch fibres while insurance competitors have a dominance of slow twitch.

rectus abdominis
The muscle fibers of an earthworm run vertically along the entirety of the worm.
The external abdominal obliques are on both sides of your torso. They run diagonally from external surfaces of ribs 5-12 (origin) to the anterior illiac crest and abdominal aponeurosis (insertion).
These muscle fibers are said to be lateral.
Transversus
Yes! These muscles run along the long bones of your body such as your femur and humerus! You can control this limbs freely therefore you control the muscle fibers attached to them!
The cat's muscle fibers run perpendicular to its internal oblique muscles. The fibers of the external oblique muscles run opposite of the muscles.
No. Rows run horizontally and columns run vertically.
The Pennate arrangement. The fascicles attach obliquely to the tendon.
A muscle attached at only one end is called unipennate muscle. It has a single tendon and its muscle fibers run diagonally to the tendon.

The stripes on a zebra's body mostly run vertically.
