The muscle spindle detects excessive stretch within the muscle?
True
What structure detects the amount of stretch or tension in skeletal muscles tendons and joint's?
Proprioceptors
What is past participle of stretch?
"Stretch" is a regular verb; therefore, the past participle is "stretched".
Which ligament of the initiates the knee jerk reflex when tapped?
The patellar ligament initiates the knee jerk reflex when tapped. When the patellar tendon is tapped just below the patella, the sensory neurons detect the sudden stretch and send an impulse to the spinal cord. This reflex causes the contraction of the quadriceps muscles, resulting in the extension of the leg.
What is a type of receptor that responds to changes in stretch of skeletal muscle and initiates a stretch reflex?
Muscle spindle receptors which are located in the belly's of muscles measure length of stretch and speed of change. They send this afferent neural information to the posterior horn of the spinal cord where and interneuron interprets the information and if the stretch is ballistic (if it changes length too rapidly) it will trigger an efferent motor unit, or many motor units, through the anterior horn of the spinal cord to contract the muscle.
Why does the muscle cell have a long shape?
The cell is long because the , muscle needs to stretch and contract when you use that muscle. Therefore it needs to be long in order to stretch.
Sensory receptors found in muscle and tendons that detect their degree of stretch?
the muscle spindle detects it, and causes reflexes that automatically make slight alterations to muscle tentions, so that you stand up right.
Is it ok to stretch without warm up if the weather is hot and your body is warm already?
Stretching is warming up. Therefore, it is OK to stretch if the weather is hot and body is already warm.
What would happen if you overstretched your muscle?
Overstretching of a muscle initiates a stretch reflex spasm where the muscle spindle cells relay a message to the spinal cord, and an efferent message is sent to motor units to contract the muscle, thereby causing a muscle spasm.
What are the neural circuits in the spinal cord?
Central pattern generators are one type of circuit. These are related to compound muscle activation. Stretch and inverse stretch reflexes are other kinds of circuits that, respectively, contract or relax muscles upon lengthening. Another kind of circuit is the withdrawl reflex, which protects limbs from noxious stimuli.
Why do men have stretch marks?
Yes, men can get stretch marks. Stretch marks, most often associated with pregnancy, can also be caused by obesity in both males and females. When people put on more weight than is healthy for their height and bone structure, the skin stretches to accommodate the excess pounds; therefore creating stretch marks
What happens to a springs force if you stretch it more?
It may loose its elastic nature.
