โœฆ Synopsis

The opercularis muscle of R a m catesbeiuna originates on the suprascapular cartilage of the shoulder girdle and inserts on the otic opercular element. It is part of the levator scapulae musculature and lies dorsomedial to the levator scapulae superior and inferior muscles. Bipolar electrode recordings from all three muscles show electrical activity linked to cyclical firing of the

The inner ear of anuran amphibians appears to be exceptionally sensitive to substrate vibration. The opercularis system, consisting of an opercularis muscle running from the shoulder girdle to a movable, cartilaginous operculum lying next to the inner ear, has been hypothesized to be involved in dri

## Abstract A study of the mechanical properties of the twitch motor units in the ankle extensor muscles of bullfrogs was undertaken to expand our view of the diversity of motor unit properties among vertebrates. Two muscles were chosen that represent a wide range of extensor function: the __planta
