What else can I help you with?
A contraction in which a skeletal muscle does not shorten but its tension increases is called isometric?
An isometric contraction is the name given to a skeletal muscle that does not shorten, but increases tension. The muscles generate force to protect themselves.
What is resting tension in a skeletal muscle called?
muscle tone
Which muscle cells have the greatest ability to regenerate smooth muscles skeletal or cardiac?
Smooth Muscle has the greatest ablility to regenerate.
What is the Amount of tension produced by a skeletal muscle?
the lenght ofthe latent period
What is Skeletal muscle tonus?
The state of activity or tension of a muscle beyond that related to its physical properties, that is, its active resistance to stretch. In skeletal muscle, tonus is dependent upon efferent innervation. A constant state of slight tension that serves to maintain the muscle in a state of readiness is known as tonus.
Type of muscle that is voluntary and striated?
SKELETAL (:
What muscle tissue is multinucleated?
skeletal muscles
Which muscle tissue concerns with locomotion of the body as a whole?
Skeletal muscle
Which muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and most glands
Contraction mechanism in skeletal muscle cell?
The mechanism by which skeletal muscle tissue obtains ATP to fuel contractions is the sliding - filament hypothesis. Two filaments, actin and myosin, slide over one another during contraction.
What type of muscle is the tricep muscle?
A skeletal muscle.
Can skeletal muscle contract without shortening?
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).
