What's the difference between pennae and pennate?

Pennae


Definition:

  • (pl. ) of Penna

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The evolving order was as follows: kikkawai, leontia, pennae, lini-like, lini, bocki in the kikkawai complex, punjabiensis, punjabiensis-like, jambulina, barbarae in the jambulina complex, and quadraria, yuwanensis, rufa, subauraria, biauraria, triauraria, auraria in the auraria complex.
  • (2) Gary Browning, chief executive of the human resources company Penna, who helps organise mentoring schemes for students, says part of the answer lies in more access to work experience, and better careers advice for young women, starting at age 14.
  • (3) "You need three things in order for women to be free to choose home births," says Dr Leonie Penna, a consultant in foetal medicine and obstetrics at King's College hospital.

Pennate


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Pennated

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The anular laminas from individuals less than 40 years of age consisted of obliquely orientated collagen fibers exhibiting a pennate arrangement.
  • (2) Both muscles are rather pennate, so that the increase of physiological cross-sectional area is a major factor in the determination of muscle length.
  • (3) Muscle length, mass, fiber pennation angle, fiber length, and sarcomere length were determined.
  • (4) In general, the fixed pennation assumption provides the worst estimate of muscle force output with a peak error of 0.31 Fo during isometric contractions at small muscle lengths.
  • (5) Relationships between length and active force (at full activation) of the lower-leg muscles were calculated by use of (i) a unipennate muscle model, (ii) a bipennate model, and (iii) bipennate models in which the cosine of the pennation angle is approximated as length independent.
  • (6) Muscle length, mass, fiber pennation angle, fiber length, and sarcomere length (by use of laser diffraction techniques) were determined.
  • (7) These findings suggest that the angulation of tendon planes, and possibly pennation angles, are different depending on the viewing angle.
  • (8) Measurements were made of the muscle lengths and angles of pennation from cadavers, and these were used to predict sarcomere lengths at other limb positions.
  • (9) The assumption that the pennation angle changed with fibre length maintained an error of less than 0.05 Fo for most lengths and velocities tested and provided the best estimate of muscle force output.
  • (10) The stapedius muscle showed a circum-pennate structure with a para-centrally located tendon and was composed of about 500 muscle fibers.
  • (11) Levels of the cyclic nucleotides, cAMP and cGMP, were determined in four species of pennate diatoms; changes in their levels and ratios were monitored in silicon-starved and light-dark synchronized cultures of Cylindrotheca fusiformis.
  • (12) The relation between muscle fibre length and angle of insertion in the myomeres showing pennate arrangement is approximated by the Benninghoff and Roll-häuser equation but the values recorded deviated systematically from the values calculated.
  • (13) Forward light scatter and Coulter volume were closely related (except for the pennate diatoms) over a range of about 0.01 to 30 pL (equivalent spherical diameter about 3 to 40 microns), according to a logarithmic function.
  • (14) Muscle length, mass, fiber pennation angle, fiber length, and sarcomere length were determined with the use of laser diffraction techniques.
  • (15) Specimens sectioned through the origin of the inferior head of the muscle show internal tendon lamellae consistent with a pennate structure.
  • (16) The fibres are short, obliquely attached to the tendon in a pennate manner and close together.
  • (17) Functional characteristics of the muscle tendon complex can be explained by architectural or dimensional-peculiarities emerging in the complex by growth processes of which the main is that the muscle belly of this pennated muscle grows in length mainly by increments in girth of the muscle fibers proper.
  • (18) No consistent relation was found between the spinal site of origin of a ventral root filament and the proximo-distal distribution of its fibres within the pennate muscle.
  • (19) It is also concluded that atrophy of pennate muscles does not have to be accompanied by a lower fibre and aponeurosis angle.
  • (20) GM is a very pennate muscle, combining relatively short muscle fibre length with sizable fibre angles and long muscle and aponeurosis lengths.
