## Abstract The present study used muscle histochemistry and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of native myosin and myosin heavy chains to establish a correlation, if any, between chiropteran histochemical fiber types and myosin isoform composition. Histochemical analysis of the primary flight mus

## Abstract A detailed morphometric study of the basilar membrane was made from serial sections and graphic reconstructions of the cochlea of three little brown bats. Four distinct morphometric changes were observed within the basilar membrane. First, between 0โ1.4 mm from the basal end of the coch
Fiber composition, and glycolytic and oxidative capacities of the pectoralis, gastrocnemius, and cardiac muscles from active and hibernating little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) was studied. The data were used to test two hypotheses: First, since hibernating bats maintain the capability of flight an
## Abstract Recent studies of muscle architecture demonstrate that many mammalian muscles are composed of short, interdigitating fibers. In addition, the avian pectoralis, a muscle capable of producing high frequency oscillations has been shown to possess a serially arranged pattern of muscle endpl
