A.Irritability
B. Extensibility
C.Reversal of muscle action
D. Active insufficiency
C.Reversal of muscle action
Which of the following is a true statement regarding oblique muscle fibers?
A. Oblique muscle fibers tend to be longer than parallel fibers, thus having more strength potential than parallel fibers.
B. Oblique muscle fibers tend to be longer than parallel fibers, thus having less strength potential than parallel fibers.
C. Oblique muscle fibers tend to be shorter than parallel fibers, thus having more strength potential than parallel fibers.
D. Oblique muscle fibers tend to be shorter than parallel fibers, thus having less strength potential than parallel fibers.
C. Oblique muscle fibers tend to be shorter than parallel fibers, thus having more strength potential than parallel fibers.
