Rectus femoris (part of the quadriceps muscle group) Sartorius; One of the gluteal muscles ...
Chimpanzee muscles are composed of 67% fast-twitch fibers and have a maximum dynamic force and power output 1.35 times higher than human muscles of similar size. Among mammals, there is a predominance of type II fibers utilizing glycolytic metabolism.
The muscles tibialis anterior and tibialis posterior invert the foot. Some sources also state that the triceps surae and extensor hallucis longus invert. [6]: 123 Inversion occurs at the subtalar joint and transverse tarsal joint. [7] Eversion of the foot occurs at the subtalar joint.
Petechiae on the soft palate are mainly associated with streptococcal pharyngitis, [6] and as such it is an uncommon but highly specific finding. [ 7 ] 10 to 30 percent of palatal petechiae cases are estimated to be caused by suction, which can be habitual or secondary to fellatio .
