  2. Muscular evolution in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_evolution_in_humans

    The conversion to full-time bipedalism in our distant ancestors is the main argument for the adaptations our muscle structure and function have made. By having to center the force of gravity on two feet, the human thigh bone developed an inward slope down to the knee which may have allowed their gluteal abductors to adapt to the stress and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_vestigiality

    The plantaris muscle is composed of a thin muscle belly and a long thin tendon. The muscle belly is approximately 5–10 centimetres (2–4 inches) long, and is absent in 7–10% of the human population. It has some weak functionality in moving the knee and ankle but is generally considered redundant and is often used as a source of tendon for ...

    When a new alignment is being created, the user is presented with three options: create a new alignment, open a saved alignment session, or retrieve sequences from a file (importing sequences from NCBI). Once an option is selected, the user can choose either ClustalW or MUSCLE from the Alignment tab located at the top of the page.

    The first muscle protein discovered was myosin by a German scientist Willy Kühne, who extracted and named it in 1864. [7] In 1939 a Russian husband and wife team Vladimir Alexandrovich Engelhardt and Militsa Nikolaevna Lyubimova discovered that myosin had an enzymatic (called ATPase) property that can break down ATP to release energy.

  8. Coracoid process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coracoid_process

    The coracoid process acts as an attachment and origin for a large number of muscles (attached muscles not labeled here). The coracoid process is a thick curved process attached by a broad base to the upper part of the neck of the scapula; [2] it runs at first upward and medially; then, becoming smaller, it changes its direction, and projects forward and laterally.
