Extraocular muscle architecture in hawks and owls

Veterinary Ophthalmology, 2018
AbstractObjectiveA complete and accurate understanding of extraocular muscle function is important to the veterinary care of the avian eye. This is especially true for birds of prey, which rely heavily on vision for survival and yet are prone to ocular injury and disease.

Molecular Architecture in Muscle Contractile Assemblies

2005
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the major muscle components, the actin and myosin filaments; and it also presents a third set of filaments, the titin filaments, which have remarkable properties and play a central role in integrating the sarcomere structure.

Muscle Architecture of the Human Lower Limb

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1983
The architectural features of the major knee extensors and flexors and ankle plantar flexors and dorsiflexors were determined in three human cadavers. There was marked uniformity of fiber length throughout a given muscle and a trend toward similar fiber lengths within muscles of a synergistic group.

Fiber architecture of canine abdominal muscles

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2002
During respiration, abdominal muscles experience loads, not only in the muscle-fiber direction but also transverse to the fibers. We wondered whether the abdominal muscles exhibit a fiber architecture that is similar to the diaphragm muscle, and, therefore, we chose two adjacent muscles: the internal oblique (IO), with about the same muscle length as ...

Twitch characteristics in relation to muscle architecture and actual muscle length

Pfl�gers Archiv European Journal of Physiology, 1984
The length dependence of twitch time characteristics is quantified for several skeletal muscles of the rat: lateral gastrocnemius, medial gastrocnemius, plantaris, soleus and semimembranosus. It is shown that muscle architecture influences the length dependent behaviour of twitch time characteristics of muscles.

Influence of muscle architecture on the length-force diagram of mammalian muscle

Pfl�gers Archiv European Journal of Physiology, 1983
The functions and geometrical characteristics of a pennate and a parallel-fibered muscle in rats are quantified and compared to each other. The pennate medial gastrocnemius and the more parallel fibered semimembranosus are investigated in fourteen male Wistar rats.

A Cellular Control Architecture for Compliant Artificial Muscles

2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006
Dividing an artificial muscle material into a network of small cells could provide performance benefits and eliminate unwanted behaviors such as hysteresis. This paper presents a scheme for the position control or compliance control of an artificial muscle having this kind of cellular structure.

Architectural features of multiarticular muscles

Human Movement Science, 1994
Abstract Most of the available information on neuromuscular organization and musculoskeletal mechanics comes from a few muscles that physiologists choose to study because they are relatively simple. They usually cross a single hinge joint, have a single band of innervation, and are composed of muscle fibres with similar lengths, all acting in ...

Rotator Cuff Muscle Architecture

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2006
We examined the architectural properties of the rotator cuff muscles in 10 cadaveric specimens to understand their functional design. Based on our data and previously published joint angle-muscle excursion data, sarcomere length operating ranges were modeled through all permutations in 75 masculine medial and lateral rotation and 75 masculine abduction
