This study incorporates contractile, structural (sarcomere length), histochemical (myofibrillar ATPase and NADH diaphorase), and physiological (fast and slow axon innervation) parameters to define fiber types in lobster muscle. Single fibers were examined in the closer muscle of adult cutter and cru
## Abstract Muscle fiber types were examined in lobsters using sarcomere length measurements. In the adult, the slender cutter claw was comprised of fast and slow fibers, while the broader crusher contained only slow fibers. In the juvenile lobster, both the cutter and crusher contained fast and sl
The fine structure of inhibitory innervation to a limb muscle was examined in larval, juvenile, and adult lobsters. The innervation is essentially similar in qualitative features among these different stages, although there are some marked quantitative changes associated with growth. From being loca
## Abstract The dimorphic claws of the Californian snapping shrimp, __Alpheus californiensis__, contain an opener and a closer muscle. The closer muscle in the smaller pincer claw is composed of fibers with short and intermediate sarcomere lengths, whereas the closer muscle in the larger snapper cl
