What else can I help you with?
When a muscle is stimulated repeatedly at a high rate the amount of tension gradually increase to a steady maximum tension is?
complete tetanus
When a muscle is stimulated repeatedly at a high rate the amount of tension gradually increases to a steady maximum tension is called?
complete tetanus
What is the tension of muscle fibers called?
The tension of muscle fibers is called muscle tension. It refers to the force generated by a muscle when it contracts. Muscle tension is necessary for movement, posture, and stabilization of the body.
Peak tension production occurs when all motor units in the muscle contract in a state of?
Complete tetanus
What is the difference between passive and active tension in muscle contraction?
Passive tension is the force exerted on a muscle when it is stretched, while active tension is the force generated by the muscle when it contracts.
What does a muscle relaxant do to help alleviate muscle tension or spasms?
A muscle relaxant works by targeting the nervous system to reduce muscle contractions, helping to alleviate muscle tension or spasms.
What do you call the natural tension in the fibers of a muscle?
muscle tone
What is resting tension in a skeletal muscle called?
muscle tone
Which sensory receptor is sensitive to change in tension of a muscle?
proprioceptors
What are muscle spindles sensitive to?
tension
How do muscle relaxants work to alleviate muscle tension and spasms?
Muscle relaxants work by targeting the central nervous system to reduce muscle contractions and increase blood flow to the affected area, which helps alleviate muscle tension and spasms.
What is a pennate muscle?
Pennate MusclesIn a pennate muscle, the fascicles form a common angle with the tendon. Because the muscle cells pull at an angle, contracting pennate muscles do not move their tendons as far as parallel muscles do. But a pennate muscle contains more muscle fibers--and, as a result, produces more tension--than does a parallel muscle of the same size. (Tension production is proportional to the number of contracting sarcomeres; the more muscle fibers, the more myofibrils and sarcomeres.)
