Yes, when a muscle contracts, it becomes shorter and thicker. This occurs because the muscle fibers, made up of actin and myosin filaments, slide past each other, causing the overall length of the muscle to decrease while increasing its girth. This process allows the muscle to generate force and perform movements.
What else can I help you with?
What does a muscle become when it contracts?
A muscle becomes shorter when it contracts.
When a muscle contracts it become shorter or longer?
It becomes shorter.
What does compress?
make a muscle shorter a fatter
When the muscle gets shorter and fatter?
go die
When a muscle contracts how does actin and myosin get shorter?
When the muscle contracts, it gets shorter. When it relaxes, it gets longer.
When muscles contracts it becomes shorter and thicker?
Muscle cells are also known as muscle fibres. A muscle fibre is made up of myofibrils. The myofibrils are made of many myofilaments. When myofilaments are stimulated by a nerve impulse they slide over each other contracting or shortening the muscles.
When does a muscle become shorter and thicker?
Muscle becomes shorter and thicker during contraction... so what?!!! (help me!!!)
Can muscle cells become shorter?
Yes, muscle cells can become shorter through a process called muscle contraction. This happens when the filaments within the muscle cells slide past each other, causing the muscle to contract and shorten.
Why does pulling a muscle represent contraction?
Contraction is the process in which a muscle becomes or is made shorter and tighter, so if a muscle is pulled, it has become shorter and tighter. Hope this helped!
What happens to the length of a muscle when it contracts?
When a muscle contracts, it shortens in length.
When a muscle contracts how does its form change?
A muscle that contracts shortens whereas a muscle that relaxes lengthens.
What happens to the biceps when muscle contracts?
When a bicep contracts it pulls on tendons causing the arm to bend at the elbow.
