What ist the process called that causes the cell to contract or shorten?
This process is called contraction. Muscles shorten or contract to produce movement.
Contraction of a muscle resulting in its shortening?
A muscular contraction that causes a muscle to shorten is called a concentric contraction. A concentric contraction is a type of isotonic contraction.
A muscular contraction that causes a muscle to shorten as it develops tension is called?
A cramp is a sudden over-shortening of a muscle. Cramps are involuntary and, often, severe. They can be extremely painful.
How does strings make a musical sound?
Because when you pluck/strum etc a string it vibrates, and this causes the sound. If you lengthen or shorten the string, the pitch changed (longer:lower, shorter:higher) Hope this helps!
What is second stimulus before relaxation causes increased force called?
Contraction phase
What causes a males voice to become deeper?
The vocal cords lengthen ad you get taller
When does light refracts?
Because when light enters a new substance, its speed changes. In order for the law demonstrated in the equation (frequency = speed/wavelength) to remain the same, the wavelength of the light particle/wave must shorten or lengthen. This change causes the wave to slightly refract to one side or the other.

What causes heart muscle to contract?
Nerve impulses that originate in the central nervous system cause muscles to contract. Muscle fiber generates tension during the action of actin and myosin cross-bridge cycling. While under tension, the muscle may lengthen, shorten, or remain the same.
A muscle that causes a desired action?
Nerve impulses that originate in the central nervous system cause muscles to contract. Muscle fiber generates tension during the action of actin and myosin cross-bridge cycling. While under tension, the muscle may lengthen, shorten, or remain the same.
How does changing the frequency of a wave affect its wavelength?
It causes the wavelength to shorten
What causes bp to fluctuate?
due to contraction of heart
