The spatial distribution of twitch and tonic fibres in a snake muscle one myofibre thick (ventral costocutaneous) has been investigated. It was found that small groups of like fibres were favoured at the expense of larger groups when compared with sequences generated by a computer in which fibres were distributed randomly. The number of times that like fibres occurred next to one another was used as another measure of their spatial distribution. The number of adjacencies of like fibres was less than the expected number of adjacencies determined both by random sequences and by probability theory. The expected number of adjacencies determined by means of random sequences and a priori probability theory were almost identical. This dispersion of like fibres may reflect processes that occur during muscle development and may have functional implications.
对一条肌纤维厚度为单根（腹侧肋皮肌）的蛇肌中抽动纤维和强直纤维的空间分布进行了研究。结果发现，与计算机生成的纤维随机分布序列相比，小群同类纤维更受青睐，而大群同类纤维则相对较少。同类纤维彼此相邻出现的次数被用作衡量其空间分布的另一个指标。同类纤维相邻的次数少于由随机序列和概率论确定的预期相邻次数。通过随机序列和先验概率论确定的预期相邻次数几乎相同。同类纤维的这种分散分布可能反映了肌肉发育过程中发生的过程，并且可能具有功能意义。
