d. Pennate arrangement.  In this pattern, fascicles are short relative to muscle length and the tendon 
         extends nearly the full length of the muscle. There are three variations in this plan ; unipennate 
         arrangement; the bipennate arrangement, and the multipennate arrangement.
      In the unipennate arrangement , the fascicles are arranged on one side of the tendon. An example of a 
       muscle with this arrangement is extensor digitorum longus. In a bipennate arrangement, fascicles are 
        arranged on both sides of the muscle tendon; an example of such a muscle is rectus femoris. 
        Multipennate muscles are the strongest; the fascicles are attached obliquely to the tendon and 
         approach from many directions. The deltoid muscle has a multipennate arrangement of fascicles.
