What cells have fibers that can contract and relax?
Muscle cells have fibers that can contract and relax. These fibers, known as myofibrils, contain the proteins actin and myosin that allow them to slide past each other and generate force. This contraction and relaxation of muscle fibers enable movement in the body.
What it the name of the long cells that can stretch and contract in the body?
The name of the long cells that can stretch and contract in the body are called muscle fibers. These fibers make up our muscles and are responsible for movement and generating force in the body.
What are long fibers called?
Muscle cells are called fibers.
What are long tough tapered plant cells called?
They are called Fibers
Why are muscle cells commonly called muscle fibers?
Muscle cells are often referred to as muscle fibers because of their long and slender shape, resembling fibers or strands. This elongated shape allows muscle cells to contract and generate force efficiently, which is essential for movement and muscle function.
Can the heart tetanize?
The cardiac muscle fiber absolute refractory is a long period of time (longer then skeletal muscles), so you cannot tetanize cardiac muscle fibers because it has to relax before it is able to contract again.
Long tough tapered plant cells are called?
Long, tough, tapered plant cells are called fibers:) enjoy
How does the structure of the muscle cell relate its function?
The long and fibrous structure aids in contraction of the muscle cells. It's like Velcro when touch each other they inevitably contract and they keep touching which makes them contract more untill they relax
Long thin cells in animals that can contract and cause movement?
muscle cells
How long do you need relax the muscles?
Muscles contract and relax all the time. Without more information it is impossible to help you. What reason do you need to relax it or them in the first place. What kind of muscle are you talking about.
Long thin cells in animals that can contrast and cause movement?
muscle fibers
What is the role of slow muscle fibers and fast muscle fibers in the response of a muscle to different types of exercise?
There are two broad types of voluntary muscle fibers: slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch fibers contract for long periods of time but with little force while fast twitch fibers contract quickly and powerfully but fatigue very rapidly.
