What happens If a muscle is applied to a load that exceeds the muscle's maximum tension?
The muscle length will not change during a contraction.
The muscle decreases in muscle length during contraction but tension is the same?
Isotonic contraction
A contraction in which there is no change in muscle length but there is a great increase in muscle tension is?
isometric contractions
The type of contraction in which there is a change in the length of a muscle but no change in its tension?
Isotonic is the word you're looking for. Isotonic means the tension remains the same, but the length can change. Isometric means the length remains the same, but the tension can change.
In an isotonic contraction the muscle does what?
Changes in length and moves the "load"
Is lifting a dumbell isotonic or isometric?
Lifting a dumbbell is a isotonic contractins because the tension remains unchanged and the muscle's length changes. Any lifting of objects is considered an isotonic contraction.
What is the difference between stress and strain and tension?
Stress is the tension/compression force per unit area.Strain is the ratio of change of length to the original length, due to applied force.Tension is the applied force which tends to elongate the body.
What is static muscle contraction?
Contraction in which opposing muscles contract against each other and prevent movement. Fixation action of a muscle in a static contraction is termed isometric, because it develops tension without changing length.
Isometric contractions - exercise?
What is isometric exexrcises
The area of a span that is unaffected by an applied force is?
The line along the length of the beam between areas of tension and compression is called the neutral layer.
Which wave length is larger atrial contraction or ventricular contraction?
the ventricular contraction wave is larger
Why when both side of the spring is stretched with equal amount of force the extension only depends on one of the force applied at one end?
Because the tension applied to the spring is distributed evenly along its whole length.
