Pinnate
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Pinnated
Example Sentences:
(1) The pinnate structure of the temporal muscle results from the internal tendons, which attach to the coronoid process.
(2) The lengths and pinnation angles of muscle fibers in the medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscle have recently been measured in freely moving cats [Hoffer et al., Progr.
(3) This region appeared to be composed of extrafusal fibers that were shorter and of more oblique pinnation than those in other regions.
(4) The loss of fiber force due to (pinnate, not equivalent) angulation is compensated for by the reduced shortening of fibers in multipinnate arrays.
(5) They are important in those groups of muscles which pass over major joints with changed courses or manifest pronounced pinnation with different courses of their septa.
