Abstract

1. Three kinds of motor unit have been distinguished in soleus (SOL) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of adult rats on the basis of differences in isometric twitch contraction times measured at 35° C. 2. SOL contains about thirty motor units of which about twenty‐seven are slow and three are intermediate with average contraction times of 38 and 18 msec respectively. 3. EDL contains about forty fast motor units with an average contraction time of 11 msec. 4. Average values for maximum isometric tetanic tension were 4·7 g for fast and slow units and 5·85 g for intermediate units. 5. Average values for twitch‐tetanus ratios ranged from 0·2 to 0·227 for EDL muscles, SOL muscles and the three kinds of motor units.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
