capable of part of material entity flight power muscle 2024-01-03T14:28:19Z Flight muscle that provides the power for flight (Dickinson and Tu, 1997). There are two sets of these muscles, dorsal longitudinal and dorsal ventral, and they are all indirect flight muscles (Dickinson and Tu, 1997). They activate asynchronously from motor neuron impulses, with contractions initiated by their stretching (Dickinson and Tu, 1997). Neural input maintains a tonic level of calcium, rather than directly stimulating contractions (Dickinson and Tu, 1997). fly_anatomy.ontology FBbt:00052766 asynchronous flight muscle indirect flight muscle asynchronous muscle flight
