What else can I help you with?
What does contraction mean in medical terms?

What is another word for shortening of a muscle?
contraction
What do you call a shortening of muscle fiber?
contraction
What word a noun is used to describe muscle shortening with stimulation?
The noun for muscle shortening is called contraction.
What is the medical term meaning shortening or tightening of a muscle?
Contraction is the medical term meaning the normal shortening or tightening of a muscle.
What is shortening of a muscle fiber called?
a contraction human avatommy
Which type of muscle tissue specializes in contraction or shortening?
striated
What is muscle contraction without muscle shortening is what kind of contraction?
Isometric contraction. This type of contraction occurs when the muscle generates tension without changing its length, such as when holding a weight in a fixed position.
What muscle contraction occurs in the biceps brachii during the upward phase of the bicep curl?
a concentric contraction- a concentric contraction involves the muscle length, shortening during a contraction! YA-trick-YA!
Can skeletal muscle contract without shortening?
Yes. One possibility is that the load on the muscle exceeds the tension produced by the muscle so that the muscle actually lengthens during contraction (eccentric contraction).
How do cross bridge power stroke bring about shortening of muscle contraction in human?
During muscle contraction, the cross-bridge power stroke occurs when myosin heads bind to actin filaments and then pivot or "power stroke," pulling the actin filaments towards the center of the sarcomere. This action causes the muscle fibers to shorten, resulting in overall muscle contraction.
How does the banding pattern of sarcomeres contribute to the contraction and function of skeletal muscle?
The banding pattern of sarcomeres in skeletal muscle helps in the contraction process by allowing the muscle fibers to slide past each other, resulting in muscle shortening and force generation. This pattern also helps in the efficient transmission of force throughout the muscle, enabling coordinated movement and function.
