Beautiful day walking out to Hilbre Island - geology and wildlife 🦭

This month a UoL Biosciences student is working with me on primate jaw muscle anatomy. Today we MRI scanned and dissected a lion-tailed macaque! I'm still always blown away by how BEAUTIFUL muscles are 🐒 #anatomy

Summary: Eccentric muscle force development is highly sensitive to starting length and temperature, revealing distinct effects on contractile and elastic components and providing a framework for more ...
