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.
What type of movement does the contraction of a Extensor produce?
The contraction of a flexor allows the arm or leg to bend
What ist the process called that causes the cell to contract or shorten?
This process is called contraction. Muscles shorten or contract to produce movement.
The combining of a series of twitches to produce a sustained contraction is called?
summation
What is the job of a leg muscle cell?
Receive stimulatory impulses to contract and inhibitory impulses to stop contraction from the neuromuscular junction. This contraction is carried out by Ca2+, ATP and the actin and myosin proteins in the cells, forming a sarcomere. By contracting and relaxing as a syncytium, the leg muscle can control the joint(s) it crosses and produce movement.

What movement does contraction of the brachialis produce?
flexion of elbow
What type of movement does the contraction of an extensor produce?
It will be flexing.
What type of movement does the contraction of a Extensor produce?
The contraction of a flexor allows the arm or leg to bend
In a concentration contraction the muscles shorten to produce movement?
True.
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 movement does an asymmetrical contraction of the erector spinae produce?
Lateral bending of the spine.
How do the biceps quadriceps hamstrings deltoids gluteus maximus gastrocnemuis abdominals obliques pectorals trapezuis and erector spines work in order to produce movement?
Biceps flex the elbow. Quadriceps extend the knee. Hamstrings flex the knee. Deltoids abduct the humerus. Gluteus maximus extends the femur. Gastrocnemius flexes the knee and plantar flexes the ankle. Abdominal obliques flex and rotate the trunk. Pectoralis major adducts the humerus. Trapezius does many actions, mostly adduct and upwardly rotates scapula. Erector spinae erect the spine.
What do muscles produce?
Muscles provide movement, especially the skeletal muscles. The smooth muscles in our organs produce movement called peristalsis or tonic contraction which holds sphincters closed.
What ist the process called that causes the cell to contract or shorten?
This process is called contraction. Muscles shorten or contract to produce movement.
What do contraction and relaxation of muscles produce?
It produces protein.
