title: Dimensions of the rabbit tenuissimus muscle.
abstract: A study of the physical dimensions of the rabbit tenuissimus muscle is described and compared with previous work on the same muscle from the cat. The muscle in the rabbit was found to be larger than in the cat, but was consistent in its dimensions and suitable for use as a model for microvascular research.
