General Information
Term	flight power muscle	ID (Ontology)	FBbt:00052766 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition	Flight muscle that provides the power for flight (Dickinson and Tu, 1997). There are two sets of these muscles, dorsal longitudinal and dorsal ventral, and they are all indirect flight muscles (Dickinson and Tu, 1997). They activate asynchronously from motor neuron impulses, with contractions initiated by their stretching (Dickinson and Tu, 1997). Neural input maintains a tonic level of calcium, rather than directly stimulating contractions (Dickinson and Tu, 1997).[ FlyBase:FBrf0098527 ]
Also Known As	"asynchronous flight muscle"
