The twitch fibers of the quail pectoralis muscle were found to have one neuromuscular junction each, located in the middle third of the fiber. The length of isolated fibers varied between 8.8 and 33.2 mm, with mean and median values of 16 and 15.6 mm, respectively. The lengths of the fascicles from which the fibers were isolated varied between 30 and 51 mm. The muscle fibers taper at both ends. The neuromuscular junctions, revealed after histochemically reacting the intact muscle for acetyl cholinesterase activity, were arranged in discrete bands, separated by intervals of between 0.94 and 6.70 mm, with a mean value of 3.14 mm. The quail pectoralis muscle is thus composed of discontinuous, tapered muscle fibers, arranged in an overlapping series. It is therefore a muscle in which tension is transmitted laterally between muscle fibers.
