QUESTION:

Which muscle has a convergent pattern of fascicles?

a. biceps brachii

b. gluteus maximus

c. pectoralis major

d. rectus femoris

Step 1 of 3

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.
