## Abstract The active lengthβtension relation was determined for the left digastric muscle of seven New Zealand White rabbits anesthetized with pentobarbital. Measurements of muscle length and fiber architecture were made from photographs of resting and actively contracting muscle. There was a mar
## EIGHT FIGURES I n isometrically recorded contractions of skeletal muscle, the initial, total, and developed tensions vary as the length of the muscle is changed. The initial tension, produced as the muscle at rest is stretched, does not follow Hooke's law of elastic bodies. The relation of the
