How does preload affect the stroke volume?
Preload refers to the degree of stretch of cardiac muscle cells before contraction. These muscles exhibit a length-tension relationship. When the cardiac muscle cells are at rest, they are shorter than their optimal length. The most important factor affecting the stretching of cardiac muscles is the venous return, that is, the amount of blood returning back to the heart. Slow heartbeat and exercise can increase the venous return. This will lead to the stretching of the ventricles and it will hence increase the contraction force.As reflected by the Frank-Starling Law, the stroke volume increases with the end diastolic volume. The greater filling volume will lead to the heart to stretch more and this will increase its force of contraction.
What is isometric movement?
Isotonic contraction results in shortening of the muscle, leading to movement. In Isometric contraction, as the name implies, there is no change in length of the muscle. Thus, it can't lead to any movement. However, Isometric contraction adds or removes power from a movement, thus facilitating or retarding it. This, facilitation and retardation itself gives us a feeling of movement, for example walking, even in the total absence of actual movement i.e. walking. This feeling of movement induced by isometric contraction is known as Isometric movement. We use isometric movements in thinking and dreaming.
Length by height or height by length?
Length by height.Addition:About artworks it is always height by length.
How does acetylcholine induce a decrease in heart rate?
Yes it does. Acetylcholine decreases the heart rate. It acts on the muscarinic (m2) receptor which decreases the activity of adenylate cyclase. This in turn decreases the production of cycliac AMP -> decreases the amount of protein kinase a activated -> decreases the amount of calcuim entry -> decreased activity of myocytes in heart- which results in decreased permeability of l type voltaged gated calcuim channels and decreases the length of time they are open for -> decreased calcuim levels -> decreased heart rate.
How do you find true length of a sphere?
The length of a sphere is its diameter
What happens If a muscle is applied to a load that exceeds the muscle's maximum tension?
The muscle length will not change during a contraction.
What is A contraction in which the muscle changes in length with the same tension applied to it?
Isotonic ContractionIsotonic Contraction
Is it true or false that during isometric contraction the energy used appears as movement?
False. During isometric contraction, there is no visible movement because the muscle is generating force without changing in length. The energy used in isometric contraction is primarily used to maintain muscle tension and stability.
A contraction in which there is no change in muscle length but there is a great increase in muscle tension is?
isometric contractions
The type of contraction in which there is a change in the length of a muscle but no change in its tension?
Isotonic is the word you're looking for. Isotonic means the tension remains the same, but the length can change. Isometric means the length remains the same, but the tension can change.
What is muscle contraction without muscle shortening is what kind of contraction?
Isometric contraction. This type of contraction occurs when the muscle generates tension without changing its length, such as when holding a weight in a fixed position.
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.
In an isotonic contraction the muscle does what?
In an isotonic contraction, the muscle changes in length while maintaining a constant tension. This allows for movement to occur, such as bending the elbow or lifting a weight.
Would extending be an isotonic contraction?
No, extending a muscle is not considered an isotonic contraction. Isotonic contractions occur when a muscle changes length while maintaining a constant tension, such as during lifting or lowering a weight. In contrast, extending typically refers to the lengthening of a muscle under tension, which can occur during eccentric contractions, where the muscle lengthens while still generating force.
Do the you band and H zones become narrower during contraction?
Yes the H band shortens. During contraction the length of the sarcomere or from z line to z line must decrease in length. Thus the I band which is bisected by the z line must shorten as well as the H band, even though the H band is bisected by the A band it must shorten to allow fior this decrease in length. The A band does not shorten because it is composed of the entire length of myosin whose length never decreases during contraction.
Isometric contractions - exercise?

What muscle contraction occurs in the biceps brachii during the upward phase of the bicep curl?
a concentric contraction- a concentric contraction involves the muscle length, shortening during a contraction! YA-trick-YA!
