The origin of the series elastic component in single crayfish muscle fibres
Experientia
|February 15, 1979
Abstract:
High-speed cinematographic studies on the length changes of single tetanized crayfish muscle fibres during a step decrease in length revealed a farily uniform distribution of a highly compliant series elastic component along the fibre length, suggesting that it mainly originates from some structures in each sarcomere other than the cross-bridges.
