What else can I help you with?
When your muscles shorten this is called what?
This is due to contraction of the biceps, and is known as flexion.
Spontaneous contraction of random groups of muscles is called?
contracture
What is the state of slight contraction present in healthy muscles?
The continuous partial contraction of muscle is called muscle tone
What do muscles produce?
Muscles provide movement, especially the skeletal muscles. The smooth muscles in our organs produce movement called peristalsis or tonic contraction which holds sphincters closed.
The contraction of the ventricles is referred to as systole and the period of ventricular relaxation is called?
I believe that is called diastole, in contrast to systole, the contraction of the heart muscles.
When a muscle is stretched by a contraction of the opposing muscles it is called .?
if you're on OdysseyWare your answer would be Active stretching.............. =)
What ist the process called that causes the cell to contract or shorten?
This process is called contraction. Muscles shorten or contract to produce movement.
What muscle do to cause movement?
All muscles cause movement due to the contraction of coupled muscle cells. Perhaps the question intended to inquire about muscles that cause a bending in which the joint angle decreases. Muscles of this type are called flexor muscles (biceps for example).
Urine is expelled from the body by a process called?
Urine is expelled from the body by a process called micturition, also known as urination or voiding. It involves the relaxation of the urethral sphincter muscles and contraction of the bladder muscles to expel urine from the body.
What causes goose like bumps on the arm?
Goosebumps on the arms are caused by the contraction of small muscles at the base of hair follicles, called arrector pili muscles. This involuntary contraction is often triggered by emotions, cold temperature, or a sense of danger. The bumps appear when these muscles pull the hair follicles upright, creating the characteristic raised skin texture.
Repeating units of actin and myosin filaments are called?
Repeating units of actin and myosin filaments are called sarcomeres. These are designed to control the contraction of muscles in the human body.
The repeated contractions of cardiac muscle are called?
Heartbeats are the repeated contraction of cardiac muscles.
