Which sensory receptor is sensitive to change in tension of a muscle?
proprioceptors
What happens at the level of the neuron starting with stimulus and ending with a response?
The stimulus is detected by the sensory receptor. The sensory receptor stimulates a sensory neuron. The sensory neuron transmits to the interneuron in the spinal cord. The interneuron stimulates a motor neuron. The motor neuron communicates to the muscle. The muscle(effector) then produces the response allowing the body to respond to the stimulus.
What are two types of static stretching?
Static stretching are low-force, long duration stretches that evoke a temporary increase in muscle tension due to muscle lengthening. After 7 to 10 seconds of a low-force stretch, the increase in muscle tension activates a GTO (golgi tendon organ) response. Under GTO activation, muscle spindle activity within the stretched muscle is temporarily inhibited, allowing further muscle stretching.Dynamic stretching are low-grade muscle contractions of an antagonist (a muscle that acts in opposition of another) muscle for 6 to 15 seconds inhibit or reduce muscle spindle activity within a agonist muscle. This reduces muscle tonicity, allowing that muscle to be stretched.
What is the difference between a stimulus impulse receptor and effector?
A Receptor is referring to a sense organ, like a nerve ending. An Effector is referring to a muscle capable of reflecting to a stimulus. By definition, receptor and effector are antonyms.
What is the tension of muscle fibers called?
It's called muscular "tension." .
Which sensory receptor is sensitive to change in tension of a muscle?
proprioceptors
A contraction in which there is no change in muscle length but there is a great increase in muscle tension is?
isometric contractions
What reflex causes muscles relaxation and lengthening in response to muscle tension?
The reflex of the Golgi tendon.
When a muscle is stimulated repeatedly at a high rate the amount of tension gradually increase to a steady maximum tension is?
complete tetanus
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
What contraction that shortens the muscle but does not increase tension is called?
It is called concentric isotonic contraction.

What type of receptor detects muscle length?
Muscle Spindle
What is the relationship between amplitude of muscle response and voltage of stimulus applied?
The relationship between the amplitude of muscle response and the voltage of the stimulus is generally linear. As the voltage of the stimulus increases, the muscle response increases in amplitude up to a certain point. Beyond that point, further increases in voltage may not significantly increase the muscle response amplitude or could lead to muscle fatigue or damage.
How does massage therapy benefit muscles and mobility?
Reduction of muscle tension and stiffness; relief of muscle spasms; greater flexibility and range of motion; increase of the ease and efficiency of movement.
Where does the adrenaline go after it is going through the blood stream?
In the bloodsteam, adrenaline acts as a hormone and binds to a few different kinds of adrenoreceptors that are found in skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle etcDepending on the receptor, it can trigger different cascade pathways that yeild different response for "fightning or fleeing"
