fascicle

This gearing mechanism not only contributes to the overall elongation of the muscle but reduces the elongation of individual fascicles at any given time, preventing them from overstretching and getting injured.

The arrangement of fascicles gives muscles their various functions.

The poems in the real fascicles, which were disbound by editors, were copied out on folded stationery sheets.

Atkins mailed the pages to subscribers as she completed them; readers then sewed the fascicles together as they pleased.

Atkins continued the work — amounting to roughly 400 images — for 10 years, issuing new installments in fascicle, or booklet form, roughly every six months.
