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 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?
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.
What is muscle endurence?
Ability to repeatedly continue the work without muscle fatigue. the ability to sustain activity for longer periods of time.
Why stretching a muscle beyond its optimal length reduce its ability to contract?
Stretching a muscle beyond its optimal length reduces its ability to contract. This is because the muscle can be torn or damaged.
