It becomes shorter.
A muscle becomes shorter when it contracts.
When the muscle contracts, it gets shorter. When it relaxes, it gets longer.
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.
Muscle becomes shorter and thicker during contraction... so what?!!! (help me!!!)
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.
False
Which muscle? The biceps, at the front of the arm, get shorter, and the triceps, at the back, get longer.
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!
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
When a muscle contracts, it shortens in length.
A muscle that contracts shortens whereas a muscle that relaxes lengthens.
When a bicep contracts it pulls on tendons causing the arm to bend at the elbow.
