| Research Abstract |
Many muscle linkages can be observed in the upper and lower limbs of the human body. In order to investigate the functions of these muscle linkages, laboratory animal models are necessary. Through anatomical research, we have discovered that the triceps branchii of a rat is connected to the flexor carpi ulnaris. In addition, with electrophysiology, we have clarified that the shortening of the triceps branchii causes it to pull the flexor carpi ulnaris. It is thought that these experimental results will benefit exercise analysis and effective muscle training tactics.
