Fig. 11. (A) Time course of force and length of a 4.6 mm third abdominal segment
ventral interior lateral muscle subjected to a simplified concensus crawling
strain cycle and stimulus. The muscle is shortened by 28% in 0.95 s and
re-lengthened in 0.87 s. Time course of force development by the same muscle
preparation under tetanic stimulus is shown in
Fig. 2. (B) Work loop during
the crawling cycle in A. The loop does not close during strain cycling, but
force returns to nearly starting values during a time interval representative
of that seen between strain cycles in Fig.
10A.
