What is a pennate muscle?
Pennate MusclesIn a pennate muscle, the fascicles form a common angle with the tendon. Because the muscle cells pull at an angle, contracting pennate muscles do not move their tendons as far as parallel muscles do. But a pennate muscle contains more muscle fibers--and, as a result, produces more tension--than does a parallel muscle of the same size. (Tension production is proportional to the number of contracting sarcomeres; the more muscle fibers, the more myofibrils and sarcomeres.)
What is the origin of the gastrocnemius muscles of a frog?
The gastrocnemius muscle originates from the adductor Magnus at the top of the frog's leg. The adductor Magnus splits off into the gracilus minor to the rear, and gracilus major to the front. These connect in the gastrocnemius.
Where is the adductor located?
If you are referring to the adductor muscles of the thigh, they are all located medially on the femur and include adductor magnus, adductor longus and adductor brevis. Each muscle originates on either the pubic body or part of the inferior pubic ramus and runs to part of the femoral linea aspera. All of these muscle adduct the thigh.
What is the definition of a pennate muscle?
pennate is the opposite of parallel (fusiform) parallel muscle eg biceps brachii has fibres which run parallel, whereas pennate fibres run diagonally to the axis of movement, unipennate, bipennate and multipennate refers to the number of tendonous attachments unipennate muscle fibers which converge on one side of a tendon ca be found in the gluteus maximus, bipennate fibers converge in a featherlike way towards a central tendon, and multipennate converge on more tendons such as deltoid which has three heads.
