Multi-motor End-plate Muscle Fibres in the Human Vocalis Muscle

Nature volume 206, pages 629–630 (1965)Cite this article

Abstract

THE existence of human skeletal muscle fibres with more than one motor end-plate has been demonstrated in the orbicularis muscle of the eyelid1 and the lateral rectus muscle of the orbit2. Recent research has also prompted the postulation of multi-motor end-plate muscle fibres in the human vocalis muscle3–5. Other workers6,7 deny this possibility.
