When the ciliary muscle is relaxed, the choroid acts like a spring pulling on the lens via the zonule fibers causing the lens to become flat.

How do muscles relax?

Yes, Muscles relax whenever you relax without moving, your muscles make you move, and bones keep your shape!


How do muscles change shape when you use them?

they do not change shapes,whenthey relax and contract we feel and see then moving.


Are there bones tissue that can relax and contract.?

Bones themselves do not relax and contract; they are rigid structures that provide support and shape to the body. However, muscles attached to bones are responsible for movement and can contract and relax. When muscles contract, they pull on bones, facilitating movement of the skeletal system. This interaction between muscles and bones allows for various movements and functions in the body.


How does the eye lens focus?

Muscles in the eye surrounding the lens contract stretching it out, flattening it; or relax, letting it thicken. These changes in shape refocus the lens.


What are the smooth muscle fibers called that support the lens?

The smooth muscle fibers that support the lens in the eye are called ciliary muscles. These muscles contract and relax to change the shape of the lens, allowing for accommodation and focusing on objects at different distances.


What part of the eye uses small muscles to change its shape so that you can focus on near or distant objects?

The ciliary muscles are responsible for changing the shape of the lens in the eye so that you can focus on near or distant objects. When these muscles contract, they thicken the lens for near vision, and when they relax, the lens becomes thinner for distant vision.


What are all of the skeletal muscles in the body?

Muscles are set kind off like sets. Muscles can only contract and relax. It takes at least two muscles to move a part of the body fully. For example, when your arm is straight, your triceps (back of your arm) contract and the bicep relaxes. When your move your arm to a l shape, the bicep contacts and the tri relaxes. This happens through out the whole body.


How are the skeletal system the muscular system and the nervous system connected to each other?

What is the shape of the chief cells of the skeletal muscles?

The shape of the chief cells of the skeletal muscles is that they are tube-shaped.


What structure maintains cell shape help build cilia and flagella form centrioles in cell division?

The cytoskeleton is the structure that maintains cell shape and helps build cilia and flagella. It also forms centrioles that play a key role in cell division by organizing the mitotic spindle. The cytoskeleton is composed of microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments that provide structural support and enable cellular movements.
