A microvascular free muscle flap in rats using the anterior and posterior gracilis muscles with femoral vessels as its pedicle is presented. The gracilis muscles form a single unit supplied by the muscular branch artery and vein, averaging 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm in diameter, respectively. These small siz
The contractile characteristics of individual mammalian tongue muscles have rarely been investigated, in contrast to spinal cordinnervated and extraocular muscles. Therefore, whole muscle and motor unit contractile forces, plus muscle fiber types, were studied in the genioglossus, the major protruso
## Abstract Skeletal muscles are highly adaptive to changes in loading or activation. A model of neuromuscular inactivity (spinal cord isolation, SI) was used to determine the role of activityβindependent and βdependent neural influences on the size and myonuclei number in typeβidentified fibers of
