When a muscle is stimulated repeatedly at a high rate the amount of tension gradually increase to a steady maximum tension is?
complete tetanus
When a muscle is stimulated repeatedly at a high rate the amount of tension gradually increases to a steady maximum tension is called?
complete tetanus
Peak tension production occurs when all motor units in the muscle contract in a state of?
Complete tetanus
What do you call the natural tension in the fibers of a muscle?
muscle tone
What is resting tension in a skeletal muscle called?
muscle tone
What is the tension of muscle fibers called?
It's called muscular "tension." .
What are muscle spindles sensitive to?
tension
What maintains the tension in a muscle spindle?
The tension in a muscle spindle is maintained by flower spray endings. This is created by contraction of actin and myosin filaments.
What Muscle spindles are receptors sensitive to?
tension
What muscle contracts and produce tension?
all of them
What is a pennate muscle?
Pennate MusclesIn a pennate muscle, the fascicles form a common angle with the tendon. Because the muscle cells pull at an angle, contracting pennate muscles do not move their tendons as far as parallel muscles do. But a pennate muscle contains more muscle fibers--and, as a result, produces more tension--than does a parallel muscle of the same size. (Tension production is proportional to the number of contracting sarcomeres; the more muscle fibers, the more myofibrils and sarcomeres.)
What is muscle compression?
Muscle compression is a deep massaging of the muscle. It is pushing and compressing the muscle to release the tension that has built up in the muscles.
