What do you call a shortening of muscle fiber?
contraction
What does contraction mean in medical terms?
contract or "contraction" is when a muscle fiber lengthens or shortens
What word a noun is used to describe muscle shortening with stimulation?
The noun for muscle shortening is called contraction.
What are all muscle cells called?
A single muscle cell is called a muscle fiber.
Each muscle fiber is also called a?
Each muscle fiber is also called a myofiber.
What type of protein is involved with shortening of muscle cells to produce movement?
the protein myoglobin pushes along actin to shorten the muscle fiber
What is a single muscle called?
a muscle fiber
What is the term for a Smaller fiber in a muscle fiber?
The smaller fiber in a muscle fiber is called a myofibril. A band of tissue that connects bone to bone is called a ligament.
When the cross-bridge of the myosin molecule form linkage with actin filaments the result s what?
shortening of the muscle fiber
What protein is involved with shortening of muscle cells to produce movement?
The protein primarily involved in the shortening of muscle cells to produce movement is actin, which interacts with myosin. During muscle contraction, myosin heads bind to actin filaments, pulling them closer together and resulting in the shortening of the muscle fiber. This interaction is regulated by calcium ions and ATP, enabling coordinated contraction and relaxation of muscles.
What phase is between stimulus of a muscle and the shortening of the muscle?
The phase between the stimulus of a muscle and the shortening of the muscle is called the latent phase or latent period. During this phase, the muscle is receiving the signal to contract, but actual muscle shortening has not yet occurred. This period is important for the muscle fibers to prepare and generate enough force for contraction.
What happens to the bones when muscle shortening?
