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.
When a muscle contracts, it shortens in length.
When a muscle contracts, it pulls with a force generated by the muscle fibers contracting and shortening.
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.
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.
Muscle tissue is responsible for contraction in the body. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and helps with movement, cardiac muscle is found in the heart and helps pump blood, and smooth muscle is found in organs and blood vessels to help with various functions.
When a muscle contracts, it shortens in length.
When the bicep contracts the triceps relax
When one muscle in a pair contracts the other expands.
Points The toes
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.
The muscle in your arm contracts. The muscle on the other side of your arm, opposite from the side that you are flexing, stretches.
