It becomes shorter.
What happens to the length of a muscle when it contracts?
When a muscle contracts, it shortens in length.
When a muscle contracts how does its form change?
A muscle that contracts shortens whereas a muscle that relaxes lengthens.
How do banding patterns change when a muscle contracts?
When a muscle contracts, the actin and myosin myofilaments come together, the H zones and I zones shrink and become very narrow. The A band does not changing during contraction.
When a muscle contracts, it pulls with what force?
When a muscle contracts, it pulls with a force generated by the muscle fibers contracting and shortening.
When one muscle contracts what happens to the opposing muscle?
When one muscle in a pair contracts the other expands.
WHEN A MUSCLE CONTRACTS DOES IT BECOME SHORTER AND FATTER?
Yes, when a muscle contracts, it becomes shorter and thicker. This occurs because the muscle fibers, made up of actin and myosin filaments, slide past each other, causing the overall length of the muscle to decrease while increasing its girth. This process allows the muscle to generate force and perform movements.
When a muscle contracts it?
shortens

Which muscles contracts when the leg is extended at the knee?
The muscle that contracts when the leg is extended at the knee is call the gastrocnemius muscle
When the muscle contracts what happens to the tendon and bone?
When the muscle contracts, the tendon pulls on the bone to create movement. The tendon is the connective tissue that attaches the muscle to the bone, so when the muscle contracts, it exerts force on the tendon, which in turn moves the bone.
