nerve impulses
Muscle cells can contract and relax and lave fibers as long as 1.5 feet.
The contraction is triggered by the release of calcium within the muscle which is triggered by an electrical signal from a nerve.
The organ system composed of tissue that can contract and relax is muscle tissue.
Muscle fibres are a type of cell. They are found in bundles in muscles, surrounded by connective tissue, neurones and capillaries. Muscle fibres are long, multinucleated cells with a high tensile strength.
cardiac
The cardiac muscle fiber absolute refractory is a long period of time (longer then skeletal muscles), so you cannot tetanize cardiac muscle fibers because it has to relax before it is able to contract again.
The organ system composed of tissue that can contract and relax is muscle tissue.
Myofibrils
Skeletal muscles .
Muscle cells
The ability of a muscle to contract and relax is dependent on the flow of calcium in and out of the muscle cell. Poor maternal intake of calcium increases the risk of hypertension in the adult offspring.
A pull is the only action a muscle can perform.
