Abstract
The interosseous muscle of the fore foot of the sheep is multipennate, with large tendons but extremely short muscle fibres. It is believed to save energy in locomotion by elastic storage in its tendons and its sheath. Its rebound resilience (at 5-7 Hz and 20-37 degrees C) is about 0.62.Entities:
