Chapter 9, Problem 2CT
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The anatomical fact on which the practice of leg muscle biopsies(explained in question) is based.
Introduction:
Muscles are the part of the muscular system, which is specialized in cells that are responsible for providing locomotion and movement to the human body. Around 600 muscles are present in the human body and comprise 43% (percent) of the body weight.
