What else can I help you with?
What is Thompson's disease?
A hereditary disease of the muscles characterized by prolonged contraction of the muscles whenever voluntary motion is attempted, contraction and relaxation being slow and the muscles stiff.
Describes a neuromuscular disorder characterized by the slow relaxation of the muscles after a voluntary contraction?
Myotoniamyotonia
What do contraction and relaxation of muscles produce?
It produces protein.
What the opposite of Contraction?
The general opposite of contraction is expansion, or possibly inflation. For muscles, the opposite of contraction is relaxation.
What allows the movements of the blood in and out of the heart?
contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles
What allows the movement of blood in and out of the heart?
contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles
How do you call the contraction and relaxation?
Contraction and relaxation are two opposites. They work together when the muscles of the body work. A good example is the contraction and relaxation of the heart. The contraction allows blood to be distributed to the parts of the body while the relaxation allows the heart to be oxygenized and therefore fill up blood to be distributed to the whole body.
Breathing occurs due to the contraction and relaxation of the muscles between the ribs and the?
diaphragm....
What is the medical term meaning a neuromuscular disorder charaterized by by the slow relaxation of the muscle after a voluntary contraction?
Myotonia
Produces quick muscle contractions to make heat?
Shivering is the rapid contraction and relaxation of muscles to generate heat.
What is movements of muscle?
Muscle movements happen from contraction and relaxation of the muscle cells. The movement is similar to a rubber band, however relaxation makes the muscles longer.
Do all muscles must contrast for movement?
No, not all muscles must contract for movement. While many movements involve the contraction of muscles to create force, some movements can occur through the relaxation of certain muscles, allowing opposing muscles to contract. For example, when bending the arm, the biceps contract while the triceps relax. Therefore, coordinated muscle action, including both contraction and relaxation, is essential for smooth movements.
