Pennate muscle

Muscle with fascicles that attach obliquely to its tendon

A pennate or pinnate muscle is a type of skeletal muscle with fascicles that attach obliquely to its tendon. This type of muscle generally allows higher force production but a smaller range of motion. When a muscle contracts and shortens, the pennation angle increases.
