What does a muscle become when it contracts?
A muscle becomes shorter when it contracts.
When a muscle contracts how does actin and myosin get shorter?
When the muscle contracts, it gets shorter. When it relaxes, it gets longer.
When muscles contracts it becomes shorter and thicker?
Muscle cells are also known as muscle fibres. A muscle fibre is made up of myofibrils. The myofibrils are made of many myofilaments. When myofilaments are stimulated by a nerve impulse they slide over each other contracting or shortening the muscles.
When does a muscle become shorter and thicker?
Muscle becomes shorter and thicker during contraction... so what?!!! (help me!!!)
Can muscle cells become shorter?
Yes, muscle cells can become shorter through a process called muscle contraction. This happens when the filaments within the muscle cells slide past each other, causing the muscle to contract and shorten.
Can muscle cells extend or get longer as well as contract or get shorter?
False
What happens to the muscle when the arm is bent?
Which muscle? The biceps, at the front of the arm, get shorter, and the triceps, at the back, get longer.
Why does pulling a muscle represent contraction?
Contraction is the process in which a muscle becomes or is made shorter and tighter, so if a muscle is pulled, it has become shorter and tighter. Hope this helped!
When muscles are used do they get longer or shorter?
yes that is one way of saying it. Other way is that the muscle contracts and relaxs when it is being used. Also other way maybe you could say it as expanding and shinking. But thats not really correct
What happens to the length of a muscle when it contracts?
When a muscle contracts, it shortens in length.
When a muscle contracts how does its form change?
A muscle that contracts shortens whereas a muscle that relaxes lengthens.
What happens to the biceps when muscle contracts?
When a bicep contracts it pulls on tendons causing the arm to bend at the elbow.
