Abstract
The tensor tympani muscle of the adult guinea pig was studied by light and electron microscopy. Extrafusal muscle fibers with centrally located nuclei were found. On the basis of morphological criteria, they were considered to be slow muscle fibers and others, with typical peripheral nuclei, twitch muscle fibers.Keywords
