What are all muscle cells called?
A single muscle cell is called a muscle fiber.
A single muscle contraction that lasts only a fraction of a second is called a?
A single contraction that lasts only a fraction of a second is called a muscle twitch. Its when the muscle seizes up for a quick pulse then relaxes.
What is a single brief jerky muscle contraction called?
A single brief jerky muscle contraction is called a "twitch." It occurs when a muscle fiber responds to a single stimulus, leading to a rapid contraction and subsequent relaxation. Twitches can be observed in both skeletal and cardiac muscles and are fundamental to understanding muscle physiology.
What is a contractile response of a single muscle fiber to a single muscle impulse called?
The contractile response of a single muscle fiber to a single muscle impulse is called a "twitch." A twitch consists of a brief contraction followed by relaxation, and it can be divided into three phases: the latent period, contraction phase, and relaxation phase. The characteristics of a twitch, such as its duration and force, can vary depending on the type of muscle fiber involved.
The muscle responsible for action in a single direction is called?
it's called a prime mover
Single muscle contraction that lasts only a fraction of a second is called?
A: A Twitch
What are individual muscle cells termed?
Another name is myocyte. It is formed from a myoblast. There are three types: smooth, striated and cardiac cells.
The response of a motor unit to a single action potential of its motor neuron is called?
The response of a motor unit to a single action potential of its motor neuron is called a muscle twitch. This involves the contraction of all the muscle fibers within the motor unit in response to the stimulation from the motor neuron.
What is the name for a muscle attached at only one end?
A muscle attached at only one end is called unipennate muscle. It has a single tendon and its muscle fibers run diagonally to the tendon.
Response of a motor unit to a single action potential of it motor neuron is called?
muscle twitch
What muscle cells consisting of a single nucleus are believed to be important for muscle hypertrophy?
Skeletal muscle cells containing a single nucleus, called satellite cells, are believed to play a crucial role in muscle hypertrophy. These cells are involved in muscle repair and growth by contributing new nuclei to muscle fibers, aiding in protein synthesis, and increasing muscle mass in response to resistance training.
What muscle is visceral muscle also?
single unit smooth muscle
