quantified.In the parallel fibered semimembranosus the length of the muscle fibres is about 70% of the muscle optimum length (the length at which the muscle performs maximal active force), while in the pennate fibered gastrocnemius the length of the muscle fibres is 36% of the muscle ...
The muscle has three heads giving it three points of origin: Clavicular head - originates from the anterior surface of the clavicle (medial half). Sternocostal head - originates from the anterior surface of the sternum and costal cartilages of ribs 1-6. Abdominal (rectus) head - origin...
the serosa layer, muscularis layer, submucosa layer and the mucosa layer. the serosa layer is formed by the peritoneum of the abdominal wall. the smooth muscles of the large intestine make the muscularis layer . the longitudinal muscle fibres of the large intestine are arranged as three long ...

Electrochemical processes taking place in our body generate complex signals (hum) that are continuously being passed along the nerve fibres throughout the body. Any physical activity such as muscle movement increases hum. Here’s an auto reset proximity detector circuit that operates when it detects...

What are the main functions of muscles in the body? human muscle system, the muscles of thehuman bodythat work theskeletal system, that are undervoluntarycontrol, and that are concerned with movement, posture, and balance. Broadly considered, human muscle—like the muscles of all vertebrates—is...
(the fibrous membrane that forms a floor of the trunk). Each crus is an elongated structure covered by the ischiocavernosus muscle, and each extends forward, converging toward the other, to become continuous with one of the corpora cavernosa. The oval bulb of the penis lies between the ...
