If a muscle contracts and its fibers shorten is the contraction isometric?

No! It is isotonic. But if the muscle contracts and the fibers do not shorten because the load is greater than the force applied to it, it is isometric.


If you have a larger piston in hydrolics pushing two smaller pistons does it exert the same force per smaller piston that you push on the larger piston?

it depends on the surface ratio, if both small pistons have the same surface area, then the same amount of force will be applied.


What are the 4 kinds of tissue in the human body?

* Epithelium - Tissues composed of layers of cells that cover organ surfaces such as surface of the skin and inner lining of digestive tract: the tissues that serve for protection, secretion, and absorption. * Connective tissue - As the name suggests, connective tissue holds everything together. Connective tissue is characterized by the separation of the cells by non-living material, which is called extracellular matrix. Bone and blood are connective tissues. * Muscle tissue - Muscle cells are the contractile tissue of the body. Its function is to produce force and cause motion, either locomotion or movement within internal organs. Muscle tissue is separated into three distinct categories: visceral or smooth muscle, which is found in the inner linings of organs; skeletal muscle, which is found attached to bone in order for mobility to take place; and cardiac muscle which is found in the heart. * Nervous tissue - Cells forming the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system.


In the skeletal muscle what is a Z-disk or Z line?

Z-disks or Z-lines are the points of contraction for contractile proteins. They provide structural support for the transmission of force when the muscle fibers are activated to shorten.

If everything exerts a force why do you not get pulled by it?

The objects with bigger masses exert more pulling force. However, even though all the matter around us exert a force, their masses are too small for them to exert a 'feelable' force. But yes, they do exert a force, but its negligible.


What is The force that you exert on a lever called?

The force that you exert on a lever can be called the effort force. The lever has three parts. They are: the fulcrum, the load, and the effort force. This can also be classified as the input force. The force that you exert to perform a task is known as the input force.
