Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes a bipennate pattern of fascicles in muscle tissue?

Fascicles are arranged on both sides of a central tendon.

Fascicles run parallel to the long axis of the muscle.

Fascicles are arranged in a circular pattern around an opening.

Fascicles converge from a broad area to a single tendon.

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the term 'bipennate pattern of fascicles' in muscle tissue. Fascicles are bundles of muscle fibers, and their arrangement determines the muscle's function and appearance. In a bipennate pattern, fascicles are arranged on both sides of a central tendon, resembling a feather.

Review the options provided in the question. Each option describes a different fascicle arrangement: parallel, circular, convergent, and bipennate.

Eliminate incorrect options by comparing their descriptions to the definition of a bipennate pattern. For example, 'Fascicles run parallel to the long axis of the muscle' describes a parallel arrangement, not bipennate.

Similarly, 'Fascicles are arranged in a circular pattern around an opening' refers to a circular arrangement, and 'Fascicles converge from a broad area to a single tendon' describes a convergent pattern. These do not match the bipennate description.

Select the correct answer: 'Fascicles are arranged on both sides of a central tendon,' as this best matches the definition of a bipennate pattern of fascicles in muscle tissue.
