Question
Chapter 11, Problem 25RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that the convergent muscle exhibit more versatility when contracting than does a parallel muscle.
Introduction:
According to the organization of fascicles, the skeletal muscles are classified into four groups. The four groups are parallel muscles, convergent muscles, the pennate muscles and the circular muscles.
