What fascicle arrangement does the deltoid muscle or ridge have?
Multipennate.
What muscle arrangement fibers run tangentially or feather?
The Pennate arrangement. The fascicles attach obliquely to the tendon.
A muscle in which the fibers are arranged at an angle to a central longitudinal tendon has a arrangement?
Pennate.
What is the muscle fiber arrangement in a pennate muscle?
short fibers, arranged obliquely to their tendons
What are bundles of muscle fibers?
myofibril
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 are the bundles of muscle fibers within a skeletal muscle?
fascicle
What is the thickest part of a skeletal muscle?
The Fascicle
What is the order from largest to smallest myofibril fascicle myofiber myofilament?
myofilament myofibril myofiber fascicle muscle
What kind of pennate muscle is the vastus intermedius?
Strap
Is the adductor magnus a parallel or pennate muscle?
parallel
What are the muscle structures from largest to smallest?
The organization of a skeletal muscle from smallest to largest is as follows: myofilaments > myofibrils > muscle fiber > fascicle > muscle
