Understand the concept of fascicle arrangements in muscles. Fascicles are bundles of muscle fibers, and their arrangement affects the muscle's range of motion and power.
Review the common types of fascicle arrangements: Parallel, Convergent, and Circular. Each type has distinct characteristics and functions.
Parallel fascicle arrangement: Muscle fibers run parallel to the long axis of the muscle, allowing for greater range of motion but less power.
Convergent fascicle arrangement: Muscle fibers spread out from a broad area and converge at a single point, allowing for versatile movement and strength.
Circular fascicle arrangement: Muscle fibers are arranged in concentric rings, typically found in sphincters that control openings in the body.
