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.
The state of partial skeletal muscle contraction is known as tonus. Muscles of the body do not have a real state of total relaxation.
