What type of muscle is capable of rapid contraction and causes skeletal movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscle is capable of rapid contraction and is responsible for skeletal movement.
What factors affect muscle contraction?
the degree of muscle stretch is affect the strength or force of skeletal muscle contraction
True or false When the contraction of a skeletal muscle is studied in the laboratory by applying an electrical charge to the muscle the contraction is called a muscle twitch.?
true
A contraction in which a skeletal muscle does not shorten but its tension increases is called isometric?
An isometric contraction is the name given to a skeletal muscle that does not shorten, but increases tension. The muscles generate force to protect themselves.
What are the structures within the muscle fiber that shorten to cause skeletal muscle fiber contraction?
Myofibrils
What type of muscle is capable of rapid contraction and causes skeletal movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscle is capable of rapid contraction and is responsible for skeletal movement.
Does stretch have any effect on skeletal muscle contraction?
yes skeletal muscle stretch by means of contraction.
The first step toward generating a skeletal muscle contraction is The first step toward generating a skeletal muscle contraction is?
stimulation of the muscle by a nerve ending.
What factors affect muscle contraction?
the degree of muscle stretch is affect the strength or force of skeletal muscle contraction
Do skeletal muscles have involuntary muscle?
The skeletal muscles do have the involuntary muscle because they help it in the contraction process.
What band shortens during skeletal muscle contraction?
during skeletal muscle contraction ,I band and H zone shortens. Sarcomeres
True or false When the contraction of a skeletal muscle is studied in the laboratory by applying an electrical charge to the muscle the contraction is called a muscle twitch.?
true
In addition to myosin what other protein is involved in skeletal muscle contraction?
Myosin acts with Actin during muscle contraction
Why are skeletal muscle fibers unusual?
The skeletal muscle, or striated muscle, is the muscle attached to the skeleton. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons. The contraction of skeletal muscle is under voluntary control.
Basic unit of contraction in skeletal and cardiac muscle?
The Sarcomere
What is the medical term meaning life-threatening disease with painful uncontrolled contraction of skeletal muscle?
Tetanus is a life-threatening disease with uncontrolled contraction of skeletal muscle (a sign known as tetany).
A contraction in which a skeletal muscle does not shorten but its tension increases is called isometric?
An isometric contraction is the name given to a skeletal muscle that does not shorten, but increases tension. The muscles generate force to protect themselves.
