QUESTION:
Which muscle has a convergent pattern of fascicles?
a. biceps brachii
b. gluteus maximus
c. pectoralis major
d. rectus femoris
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
When muscle fibers or fascicles congregate at a single attachment site, this is referred to as a convergent pattern of fascicles. Greater force generation and higher muscle size are made possible by this arrangement. Additionally, it offers flexibility in terms of the direction and range of motion of the muscle pull.
