When a muscle contracts, it shortens in length.
When a muscle contracts, it shortens in length, causing movement of the body part it is attached to. This contraction is triggered by signals from the nervous system, which stimulate the muscle fibers to slide past each other, generating force and tension.
No! It is isotonic. But if the muscle contracts and the fibers do not shorten because the load is greater than the force applied to it, it is isometric.
When a muscle contracts, it pulls with a force generated by the muscle fibers contracting and shortening.
Isotonic contractions involve muscle actions where the muscle length changes as it contracts against a constant load. There are two types: concentric contractions (shortening of the muscle during contraction) and eccentric contractions (lengthening of the muscle during contraction).
When a muscle contracts, the physiological process occurring within the body is the shortening of muscle fibers, which results in the generation of force and movement.

When the bicep contracts the triceps relax
Points The toes
When one muscle in a pair contracts the other expands.
an isometric contraction iso=same metric=length therefore the muscle maintains the same length as it contracts
when a muscle cramps
relax
it contracts
When the muscle contracts, the tendon pulls on the bone to create movement. The tendon is the connective tissue that attaches the muscle to the bone, so when the muscle contracts, it exerts force on the tendon, which in turn moves the bone.
Isotonic contractions. This happens when the muscle shortens as it contracts
depends on which muscle but the opposite muscle sometimes contracts aswell to stabalize the joint some relaxes ...
when the muscle shortens (contracts), the two bones come closer together, isometric contraction excepted.
