Does the distance between z-disc decrease during muscle contraction?
Decreases
The distance between Z-discs during muscle contraction?
Decreases
The ability of a muscle to transmit electrical current is termed?
The ability of a muscle to transmit electrical current is termed conductivity. This refers to how well the muscle tissue can carry an electrical impulse, allowing for proper communication between nerves and muscle fibers to produce movement.
What is the distance between the ends of the thin filaments called?
The distance between the ends of the thin filaments in a muscle sarcomere is referred to as the "sarcomere length." This length is crucial for muscle contraction, as it determines the degree of overlap between the thick and thin filaments, influencing the strength and efficiency of muscle contraction. The sarcomere is the basic functional unit of muscle tissue, and its length can vary depending on the state of contraction or relaxation.
What is muscle excursion?
The distance a muscle can shorten
What muscle compresses abdominal contents?
The rectus abdominis muscle compresses the abdominal contents when contracted. It is a paired muscle that runs vertically along the anterior abdominal wall and is responsible for flexing the trunk and assisting in forced exhalation.
Does striated muscle contract and relax to control the movement of the contents within its structures?
no
What is muscle conductivity?
Ability to conduct impulses along the muscle membrane.
Which muscle characteristic describes the ability of muscle to respond to a stimulus?
Excitability
What causes a muscle to lose its ability to contract?
Muscle loss. Have you not been eating?
What are the 4 main functions of muscle tissue?
There are more than four major functions of the human bodies muscles. You may be able to group them together based on what specifically is being asked of you. Major Muscle Functions: 1.) Producing Movement 2.) Maintain Body Posture and Body Position 3.) Stabilize Joints 4.) Generate Heat 5.) Make up a layer of organs and blood vessels to dilate and constrict 6.) Contract the heart and cause blood to be pumped throughout the body.
Muscle tissue has four characteristics what are they?
Contractility - the ability of a muscle to shorten. Extensibility - the ability to lengthen. Elasticity - the ability to return to their original shape. And, Excitability - can be triggered by electrical stimulation.
