In embryos of Snake-like Reptiles (Anguis fragilis) and of Ophidians (Tropidonotus, Python), the lay-out of motor neuroblast in the ventral horns of the spinal cord, in the brachial and the lumbar regions differs from the one observed in the same regions of embryos of tetrapod Reptiles (Lacerta viridis).
Synchronizing each frame of the cinema of a moving animal with the corresponding EMG of some muscles permits a precise interpretation of the variations of the electric potentials in that muscle with each phase of the movement. e.g. in the rabbit, three bundles of the masseter muscle function independently during the mastication; in the pigeon, electric potentials appear in both ilio-tibialis and biceps femoris muscles some frames before the actual raising of the leg, when the animal on its perch becomes out of balance.
