TI  - The functional morphology of the avian flight muscle M. Coracobrachialis 
      posterior.
PG  - 1767-76
AB  - The extensive range of movement of the avian glenohumeral joint makes functional 
      interpretation of any muscle that crosses the joint difficult. Multiple 
      functional roles for the M. coracobrachialis posterior (CBP), an architecturally 
      complex muscle that lies deep to the M. pectoralis, have been assigned on the 
      basis of its anatomical position. The mechanical properties, neuromotor pattern 
      during flight and the biochemical properties of the CBP in pigeons (Columba 
      livia) were studied by in situ length/active tension and length/passive tension 
      measurements, in vivo electromyography and muscle histochemistry. The action of 
      the muscle was studied directly through in situ stimulation and measurement of 
      humeral excursion in non-reduced preparations.
