Abstract
Changes in shape of the femur and the m. semitendinosus occurring with developmental growth are described. It is shown that three-quarters of growth in muscle volume is consequent upon growth in length of bone, while shape changes in muscle account for only one quarter of growth in muscle volume. Attention to the role of bone is necessary in studies of muscle protein synthesis and muscle growth.
