In an isotonic contraction the muscle does what?
In an isotonic contraction, the muscle changes in length while maintaining a constant tension. This allows for movement to occur, such as bending the elbow or lifting a weight.
What happens If a muscle is applied to a load that exceeds the muscle's maximum tension?
The muscle length will not change during a contraction.
The muscle decreases in muscle length during contraction but tension is the same?
Isotonic contraction
What aspects of muscle function are monitored by muscle spindles and tendon organs?
Muscle spindles primarily monitor muscle length and changes in muscle length, providing information about muscle stretch and contraction. Tendon organs, on the other hand, monitor muscle tension or the force of muscle contraction by detecting changes in tension within the tendons. Together, these sensory receptors help regulate muscle tone and protect muscles from injury.
Which sensory receptor is sensitive to change in tension of a muscle?
proprioceptors
A contraction in which there is no change in muscle length but there is a great increase in muscle tension is?
isometric contractions
The type of contraction in which there is a change in the length of a muscle but no change in its tension?
Isotonic is the word you're looking for. Isotonic means the tension remains the same, but the length can change. Isometric means the length remains the same, but the tension can change.
What is muscle contraction without muscle shortening is what kind of contraction?
Isometric contraction. This type of contraction occurs when the muscle generates tension without changing its length, such as when holding a weight in a fixed position.
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 the difference between stress and strain and tension?
Stress is the tension/compression force per unit area.Strain is the ratio of change of length to the original length, due to applied force.Tension is the applied force which tends to elongate the body.
How to calculate string tension in a musical instrument?
To calculate string tension in a musical instrument, you can use the formula T F L, where T is the tension in the string, F is the force applied to the string, and L is the length of the string between the points where the force is applied. By measuring the force and length of the string, you can calculate the tension.
How can one determine the tension in a string?
To determine the tension in a string, you can use the formula T F L, where T is the tension, F is the force applied to the string, and L is the length of the string. By measuring the force and length, you can calculate the tension in the string.
