The area of distributionof fibres was 12-26% (mean 17%) of the cross-sectional area of the muscle. Overlapping was very extensive since the calculated number of motor units was 73. This facilitates smoothness and strength of contraction due to fusion of the asynchronously discharging intermingled units, although each unit may discharge below its tetanic fusion frequency. / Histokemiska forandringar vid muskelkontraktion.
