Name four factors that influence contractile force and two that influence velocity and duration of contraction?

The four factors that influence contractile force are the number of muscle fibers stimulated, the relative size of the fibers, the frequency of stimulation and the degree of muscle stretch. Factors that influence the velocity and duration of contraction are the muscle fiber type, load and recruitment.


What factors difference in the size of crystal formed?

Crystal size is determined by several factors. However, it essentially boils down to rate of nucleation and rate of diffusion. A low nucleation rate with high diffusion rate will cause very large crystals to grow, whereas a high nucleation rate with low diffusion will cause very small crystals to grow. Previously, it was commonly believed that cooling rate was a strong influence. The ideas was that if a melt took a long time to cool, crystals would have more time to grow. However, recent studies examining pegmatitic (very large crystals) rocks have shown that cooling of these bodies happens extremely quickly. One proposed explanation is that the amount of water present in the melt is much more important.
