What else can I help you with?
A contraction in which the muscle does not shorten but its tension increase is called isometric.true or false?
True Tension may build to the muscles peak tension capacity, but the muscle neither shortens or lengthens example. trying to lift a car
When a muscle shortens it means what?
It is called a concentric contraction. The muscle gets shorter in preparation to do work.
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.
A muscular contraction that causes a muscle to shorten as it develops tension is called?
A cramp is a sudden over-shortening of a muscle. Cramps are involuntary and, often, severe. They can be extremely painful.
When muscles lengthen?
The lengthening of a muscle is called 'relaxing'. As the SHORT muscles work antagonistically- when one contracts, one relaxes. Therefore as one muscle shortens the other lengthens. This is between the bicep and tricep and the hamstring and quadricep. When a muscle shortens it also thickens, this is why you can feel your muscle rise when you bring your arm towards you.
When a muscle is stimulated repeatedly at a high rate eliminating a relaxation phase the amount of tension gradually increases to a steady maximum?
When a muscle is stimulated repeatedly at a high rate without allowing for relaxation, a phenomenon called tetanus occurs. This results in a sustained contraction where individual muscle twitches fuse together, leading to an increase in tension. The steady maximum tension reached is due to the accumulation of calcium ions in the muscle fibers, which enhances cross-bridge formation between actin and myosin filaments. This state maximizes force production as the muscle maintains a continuous contraction.
What is DNA called when it shortens and thickens?
When DNA shortens and thickens, it is called chromatin. Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division.
Application of muscular force with movement is called?
The application of muscular force with movement is called muscle contraction. This occurs when muscles generate tension and shorten in length to produce movement such as lifting a weight or running.
What is The contraction of muscles for no obvious purpose called?
An involuntary muscle contraction is called a spasm.
When your muscles shorten this is called what?
This is due to contraction of the biceps, and is known as flexion.
What happens when a composer shortens a musical idea by only using a part of it?
This is called fragmentation.
What is the contraction of the heart chambers in a regular cycle called?
The contraction of the heart chambers in a regular cycle is called systole
