What is a concentric contraction?
concentric contraction is atype of muscle contraction which the muscle shortens while genrating aforce The muscle shortens to produce movement. A muscle contraction in which shortening occurs.
In a concentration contraction the muscles shorten to produce movement?
True.
Where is calcium stored in a relaxed skeletal muscle?
yes calcium is stored in muscles as it is necessary for muscle contraction and muscle contraction is very sensitive to the amount of calcium
What organelle would be most common in a muscle cell?
Mitochondria - to produce the ATP needed for muscle contraction
What is the minimal intensity of stimulation necessary to trigger a muscle contraction?
threshold stimulus
What is the process that takes place in a muscle cell to produce energy for it to work?
Contraction
What is the primary function of wave summation?
produce smooth, continuous muscle contraction
What is the type of contraction in which the muscle fibers produce increased tension but does not shorten?
An isometric contraction builds tension but there is no joint movement.
What employs a parallel after discharge circuit to produce sustained muscle contraction?
a oscillating circuit
Does a skeletal muscle fiber contain many nuclei?
Skeletal muscle fibers contain numerous nuclei. This is used to produce large amounts of the enzymes and structural proteins needed for muscle contraction.
What is muscle contraction without muscle shortening is what kind of contraction?
Isometric contraction
How does skeletal muscle stimulation produce a sustained contraction?
By stimulating alternating motor units at a time.
