Muscular hydrostats, such as the elephant trunk, can perform precise motor actions. A new study has revealed that the elephant trunk contains a dense network of tiny muscle fascicles, suggesting that muscle miniaturization may be a key toward understanding how soft organs achieve both strength and dexterity.
肌肉液压结构，如象鼻，可以进行精确的运动。一项新的研究表明，象鼻内含有密集的微小肌纤维束网络，这表明肌肉的小型化可能是理解柔软器官如何兼具力量和灵活性的关键。
