Dartos Muscle
muscle contraction
Cremaster muscle & Dartos muscle
a concentric muscle action.
A muscle contraction happens when too much force or stress is forced upon a muscle cavity. Dr. Whitmore PHD
During muscle contraction the actin heads pull the sarcomere closed
The muscle length will not change during a contraction.
Muscle contraction results
The dartos fascia is the layer of smooth muscle tissue located just beneath the surface of the skin in the scrotum. It is responsible for regulating the temperature in the testicles to promote spermatogenesis, i.e. the creation of sperm. This is what causes the scrotum to appear wrinkled, or rugose.
Isometric contraction
It increases about to about four times greater than a normal contraction for skeletal muscle.
constant contraction of a muscle is called the muscle tone
