What type of muscle contraction will shorten a muscle and decrease the angle between two bones?
Concentric isometric contraction
What tissue type functions in contraction?
Smooth Muscle tissue
What type of fracture bone pieces pressed together?
Compression
This muscle type has interlocking cells for more efficient contraction?
neuroglial
An imbalance caused by contraction of pectoralis minor would result in what type of body position. what opposing muscles might be affected by this contraction?
It commonly causes scapula problems and results in rounded shoulders.
What type of movement does the contraction of an extensor produce?
It will be flexing.
What type of movement does the contraction of a Extensor produce?
The contraction of a flexor allows the arm or leg to bend
What type of muscle is capable of rapid contraction and causes skeletal movement?
Skeletal or voluntary muscle is capable of rapid contraction and is responsible for skeletal movement.
Walking is an example of which type of contraction?
Walking is an example of isotonic type of contraction. These are contractions which will force the length of the muscle to change and cause movement.
What is the type of contraction in which the muscle fibers produce increased tension but does not shorten?
An isometric contraction builds tension but there is no joint movement.
What tissue type resists compression and limits relative movement?
fibrous cartilage
What is the type of muscle contraction that produces movement in a joint and allows the muscle to shorten?
By tensing.
What type of earthquake wave travels in a push and pull movement?
The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
What is the word for muscular contraction involving muscle movement?
Isotonic contractions are the type that involve muscle movement. This movement is due to a change in length as the muscle fibers shorten or lengthen.
Active exercises-definition and its type?
Active exercise is the movement of a part of the body through voluntary contraction and relaxation of the muscles in the area.
What system in the allows it's movement?
The nervous system transmits electrical signals from the brain to the muscle structures throughout the body, this allows the relaxation and contraction of certain muscles depending on the desired type of movement.
Which type of muscular contraction is defined as a contraction which moves against a constant resistance?
isometric contraction
