What else can I help you with?
This is the property of muscle that gives it the ability to stretch without damage?
extensibility
What term describes the ability of a muscle to lengthen?
The term that describes the ability of a muscle to lengthen is "muscle extensibility." This property allows muscles to stretch and elongate when a force is applied, which is essential for normal movement and flexibility. Extensibility is important for overall muscle function and can be improved through regular stretching exercises.
What detects a muscle is under stretch and therefore initiates the inverse stretch flex?
the muscle spindle detects excessive stretch within the muscle , it response and makes the muscle contract
What muscle do you stretch when you do the flamingo stretch?
Quadrilateral
What is the property of muscle?
The property of muscle is the ability to contract and generate force, allowing for movement and stabilization of the body. This is achieved through the interaction of actin and myosin proteins within muscle fibers. Muscles also have the ability to stretch and relax, providing flexibility and control over body movements.
What prevents muscles from overstretching?
The Golgi tendon prevents muscles from overstretching by partially flexing the opposing (antagonist) muscle. However, after about 30 seconds of a stretch, it releases the antagonistic muscle and allows you to stretch further. That is why its suggested to do most stretches for at least 30 seconds.
What are some experiences with stretching before a run?
I always stretch before and after I run. It allows your body to loosen up and not get you injured. If you don't stretch, you also risk getting an injury or pulled muscle.
What muscle do you stretch when you do the butterfly stretch?
Your groin is being stretched.
Stretch muscle vs non stretch muscles?
buttocks
What physical property of some metals allows them to stretch and be used as wiring in homes?
The physical property that allows some metals to stretch and be used as wiring in homes is their ductility. Ductile metals, such as copper and aluminum, can be drawn into thin wires without breaking, making them ideal for electrical applications. This property, combined with their good electrical conductivity, enables efficient transmission of electricity over distances.
What is the Name of the receptor for the stretch reflex?
The receptor for the stretch reflex is called the muscle spindle. Muscle spindles are sensory receptors located within the belly of muscles, and they detect changes in muscle length and the rate of that change. When a muscle is stretched, the muscle spindle initiates the stretch reflex, leading to a contraction of the muscle to resist the stretch. This reflex helps maintain posture and balance.
What special feature of smooth muscle allows it to stretch without immediately resulting in a strong contraction?
stress-relaxation responsestress-relaxation response
