Principles and Practice of Resistance Training
In many of the larger muscles the fibers are inserted obliquely into the tendon,
and this arrangement resembles a feather (i.e., pinnation). The fibers in a pinnate
muscle are typically shorter than those of a fusiform muscle. The arrangement of
...

Skeletal Muscle: Form and Function
Pinnation allows more fibers in a given volume, and this produces more force.
muscles, however, the fibers are obliquely inserted into the tendon (or
aponeurosis) and, because of the resemblance to a feather, this arrangement is
termed ...

Shaping Primate Evolution: Form, Function, and Behavior
(Haxton, 1944) modifies Schumacher (1961, after Weber, 1851) in its
consideration of the pinnation, or angulation, of fibers to the direction of
contraction or pull (∼ line of action) and the resulting reduction of linear force by
the exclusion of a ...

Primate Craniofacial Function and Biology
The angle of pinnation θ was calculated using the following formula (Anapol and
Barry, 1996, see also Fig. 11.1): Sin θ = a/mean fiber length for that unit (11.4) To
calculate θ, itwas necessary to obtain mean fiber length for each muscle.

Handbook of Sports Medicine and Science, Road Cycling
Some muscles have greater angles of pinnation than others, with some fibres at
angles approximating 40°. Other muscles have fibres that might be only 3 or 4°
from the long axis of the muscle. Since fibres are arranged at different angles of ...

The Ferns (Filicales): Volume 3, The Leptosporangiate Ferns: ...
Sometimes various degrees of pinnation may be seen in the same leaf: these
lead through a reduced secondary pinnation {D. alexandri Diels), and a simple
pinnation with broad expanse {D. erecta Brack., or D.falcata Brack.), to an almost

Issues in Life Sciences: Botany and Plant Biology Research: ...
“Mutants with alterations in lobing and (or) pinnation (decrease/increase) were
analyzed. Primary leaflet initiation is delayed in mutants with decreased lobing. In
contrast, leaflet initiation is advanced or similar to the wild type in mutants with ...

The Evolution of Plant Physiology
The third and second pinnation had a common boundary air layer and heat
exchange was only enhanced up to the second pinnation. Unfortunately, no
experimental data are given. The large leaves of Musaceae (Heliconia latispatha
