Yes. One possibility is that the load on the muscle exceeds the tension produced by the muscle so that the muscle actually lengthens during contraction (eccentric contraction).

How does a muscle contract according to the sliding-filament model of muscles contraction?

When skeletal (or cardiac) muscle contracts, the thin and thick filaments in each sarcomereslide along each other without their shortening, thickening, or folding.


What is the relationship between the load attached to skeletal muscle and the initial velocity of skeletal muscle shortening?

The relationship between the load attached to skeletal muscle and the initial velocity of skeletal muscle shortening is inverse. As the load increases, the initial velocity of muscle shortening decreases. This is due to the increased force required to move a heavier load.

Does skeletal muscle contract?

yes


The only tissue in youur body that is able to contract or shorten?

Muscle tissue is the only tissue in the body capable of contracting or shortening. This contraction allows muscles to generate force and produce movement throughout the body. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth, each with its own unique properties and functions.


Human skeletal muscle cells are signaled to contract by what?

I think its the brain using the spinal cord


Which type of muscle CANNOT contract without being stimulated by the nervous system?

Cardiac muscle. Unlike skeletal and smooth muscle, the contraction of cardiac muscle is involuntary and requires stimulation from the nervous system. This ensures that the contractions of the heart are synchronized and coordinated.


Which muscle type can voluntarily contract and relax?

Skeletal muscles .


What does contraction mean in medical terms?

contract or "contraction" is when a muscle fiber lengthens or shortens


How are smooth muscle cells similar to skeletal fibers?

Smooth muscle cells are similar to skeletal muscle cells due to the actin-tropomyosin interactions. These interactions "tell" the muscle when to contract.


Why can't you live with out the skeletal muscle?

You cant live without the skeletal muscle because the skeletal muscle helps with your joints not to move in an uncomfortable position and the skeletal muscle it was keep the bones from breaking to easily.
