What is resting tension in a skeletal muscle called?
muscle tone
Can skeletal muscle contract without shortening?
Yes. One possibility is that the load on the muscle exceeds the tension produced by the muscle so that the muscle actually lengthens during contraction (eccentric contraction).
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 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.
A skeletal muscle generates the greatest tension when it is?
partially stretched before being stimulated
Is there is a small amount of smooth muscle in the heart?
No. and cardiac muscle is technically different from skeletal muscle, too.
Type of muscle that is voluntary and striated?
SKELETAL (:
What muscle tissue is multinucleated?
skeletal muscles
Which muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and most glands
Which muscle tissue concerns with locomotion of the body as a whole?
Skeletal muscle
What are facts about a skeletal muscle cell?
A skeletal muscle cell is a cell of a skeletal muscle.
Which joint in the body allow movement to be produced by the skeletal muscle?
all four of the joints are moved by skeletal muscles without skeletal muscles joints wouldn't move
