英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A simplified, geometric block representing a bundle of parallel muscle fibers; an old teaching model used for explaining tension, cross-sections, and electrical properties of muscle.
    — Taking a regularly shaped muscle in which the fibres are parallel, we will cut out a part of this by making two even cuts at right angles to the direction of the fibres. A piece of this sort may be called a regular muscle-prism. It is, according to the shape of the muscle used, either circular or more oval, or flat and band-like ... all the muscle-fibres are parallel to each other, [and] the two cuts are made at right angles to the direction of the fibres.
