Total fibre numbers in cross sections of the semitendinosus in athletic and non-athletic horses and dogs

H M Gunn. J Anat. 1979 Jun.

Abstract

The numbers of fibres in the complete cross section of the semitendinosus were estimated in 58 equines and 59 canines of differing types. Animals selected for swiftness--thoroughbred horses and greyhounds--have a greater number of fibres in a cross section of their semitendinosus than other members of their species, whether as neonates or as adults. The numbers of fibres in the cross section increases during growth in both types of animal in each species.
