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.
A contraction in which the muscle does not shorten but its tension increase is called isometric.true or false?
True Tension may build to the muscles peak tension capacity, but the muscle neither shortens or lengthens example. trying to lift a car
Is concentric isotonic contraction is defined as tension developing in the muscle as it shorten?
That is correct, the muscle shortens as it contracts. E.g. A bicep curl, the bicep muscle as you lift the wight up is Isotonic contraction. :)

How does muscle contraction occurs?
Muscle fiber generates tension through the action of actin and myosin cross-bridge cycling. While under tension, the muscle may lengthen, shorten, or remain the same. Although the term contraction implies shortening, when referring to the muscular system, it means muscle fibers generating tension with the help of motor neurons (the terms twitch tension, twitch force, and fiber contraction are also used).
A muscular contraction that causes a muscle to shorten as it develops tension is called?
A cramp is a sudden over-shortening of a muscle. Cramps are involuntary and, often, severe. They can be extremely painful.
What contraction that shortens the muscle but does not increase tension is called?
It is called concentric isotonic contraction.
The muscle decreases in muscle length during contraction but tension is the same?
Isotonic contraction
What effect does increasing the tension in a vibrating string have on the wavelength?
it will shorten it
Type of contraction which tension rises but does not move?
Isometric
What is A contraction in which the muscle changes in length with the same tension applied to it?
Isotonic ContractionIsotonic Contraction
Contraction mechanism in skeletal muscle cell?
The mechanism by which skeletal muscle tissue obtains ATP to fuel contractions is the sliding - filament hypothesis. Two filaments, actin and myosin, slide over one another during contraction.
