A machine that measures muscle tension is called a dynamometer. It assesses the force exerted by muscles during contraction, providing valuable data for evaluating muscle strength and function. Dynamometers can be handheld or incorporated into larger systems for various applications in rehabilitation and sports science.

What is the tension of muscle fibers called?
The tension of muscle fibers is called muscle tension. It refers to the force generated by a muscle when it contracts. Muscle tension is necessary for movement, posture, and stabilization of the body.
What is resting tension in a skeletal muscle called?
muscle tone
What contraction that shortens the muscle but does not increase tension is called?
It is called concentric isotonic contraction.
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
Decreasing tension in a muscle due to lowering levels of ATP is called?
Disentration
When a muscle is stimulated repeatedly at a high rate the amount of tension gradually increases to a steady maximum tension is called?
complete tetanus
What is the difference between passive and active tension in muscle contraction?
Passive tension is the force exerted on a muscle when it is stretched, while active tension is the force generated by the muscle when it contracts.
What type of receptor fires in response to an increase in muscle tension?
The type of receptor that fires in response to an increase in muscle tension is called a Golgi tendon organ (GTO). These receptors are located at the junction of muscles and tendons and are sensitive to changes in muscle tension and force. When muscle tension increases, the GTOs activate, sending signals to the central nervous system to help regulate muscle contraction and prevent injury. This feedback mechanism plays a crucial role in proprioception and motor control.
What does a muscle relaxant do to help alleviate muscle tension or spasms?
A muscle relaxant works by targeting the nervous system to reduce muscle contractions, helping to alleviate muscle tension or spasms.
Why do you hear a noise in the ear?
It's called tinea and usually associated with muscle tension around the ear.
What is the name for a mild constant tension in a muscle called?
hemoglobin like compound that stores oxygen in muscles
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.
