New approach to the functional classification of horse diaphragm muscle fibers

Samples of costal and lumbal part of the diaphragm from 10 cross-bred horses of domestic pack race were cut into 10 mikrometer thick slices, stained with chemalaun and eosin and used to measure the muscle fiber diameter with the help of our own computer program. Distribution frequency of the diameter of muscle fibers with the step of 3 mikrometer made possible their classification into morphofunctional units (MFU) connected with respiratory and non-respiratory diaphragm activity.
