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.
The final step involved in skeletal muscle contraction is?
The muscle cell relaxes and returns passively to its resting length
What has resting tension?
GI tract smooth muscle has resting tension which results from slightly elevated levels of intracellular Ca2+. This tone is modified by neutransmitters, hormones, or drugs.
What is the Amount of tension produced by a skeletal muscle?
the lenght ofthe latent period
What is Skeletal muscle tonus?
The state of activity or tension of a muscle beyond that related to its physical properties, that is, its active resistance to stretch. In skeletal muscle, tonus is dependent upon efferent innervation. A constant state of slight tension that serves to maintain the muscle in a state of readiness is known as tonus.
Is skeletal muscle is called striated muscle?
yes
A skeletal muscle generates the greatest tension when it is?
partially stretched before being stimulated
What reflex prevents a muscle from exerting too much tension?
It's called the stretch reflex and involves muscle spindles which are sensorimotor organs located in skeletal muscle.
What are the two muscle types?
One type of muscle is called smooth muscle. A smooth muscle works involuntarily. The other type of muscle is called skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle only works with a command.
Is the skeletal muscle sometimes called the striated muscle?
endopysium
What type of muscle is called striated moscle?
Skeletal muscle.
Is the Skeletal muscle is sometimes called striated muscle.?
endopysium
