Which muscle characteristic describes the ability of muscle to respond to a stimulus?
Excitability
Which muscle trait is the ability to respond to a stimulus such as a nerve or hormone?
Excitibilty
A muscle fiber will not respond to a stimulus until that stimulus reaches what?
it will not respond until it reaches the threshold level
Is irritability a function of muscle tissue?
Yes. They respond to stimulus.
If a muscle cell receives a second stimulus while it is contracting will it respond to the second stimulus?
no because it doesnt want to
The most distinguishing characteristic of muscle tissue is?
Excitability = the ability to receive and respond to a stimulus Contractility = the ability to shorten Extensibility = the ability to be stretched Elasticity = the ability to resume normal length after contraction or having been stretched.
The ability of muscle to receive and respond to stimuli?
excitability
Does all body cells exhibit irritability to some extent?
Muscle cells are irritable and respond to stimuli. Muscle twitch is defined as contraction and relaxation in the muscle cell. The stimulus needs to be above a certain threshold for the muscle fibres to react. The more the stimulus, the greater the strength of the contraction.
Do bones and muscles work together for movement?
Well, yes but bones have no nerve stimulus so respond to muscle movement.
What is the condition called when a muscle is being stimulated but is not able to respond?
It is called muscle fatigue.
What is the minimal stimulus needed to elicit a muscle contraction is called?
Threshold Stimulation
What are the four main special functional abilities of muscle that are the basis for muscle response?
Muscle tissue has four main properties: Excitability (ability to respond to stimuli) Contractibility (ability to contract) Extensibility (ability to be stretched without tearing) Elasticity (ability to return to its normal shape).
