What is a twitch contraction?
A twitch contraction is a single, brief contraction of a muscle fiber in response to a stimulus. It is the smallest unit of muscle contraction and is not strong enough to produce movement of a limb.
What is the medical term meaning delayed relaxation of a muscle after a strong contraction?
The medical term for delayed relaxation of a muscle after a strong contraction is myotonia. This condition is characterized by prolonged muscle stiffness or difficulty relaxing the muscle after it has been contracted. Myotonia can occur in conditions such as myotonic dystrophy or myotonia congenita.
What is needed to accomplish a strong contraction and are stimulated at a rapid rate?
To accomplish a strong contraction that is stimulated at a rapid rate, the muscle fibers need sufficient ATP for energy production, calcium ions for muscle contraction, and acetylcholine for nerve stimulation. Additionally, a well-coordinated activation of motor units is necessary to achieve a strong and rapid contraction.
What is required to accomplish a strong contraction?
To accomplish a strong contraction in muscles, it is important to activate the motor units within the muscles. This can be done through proper nerve stimulation, which is provided by the brain and nervous system. Additionally, having sufficient muscle strength and adequate fuel supply, such as ATP, are necessary for a strong contraction.
What is a stimulus that results in no perceptible contraction?
A subthreshold stimulus is one that does not generate a strong enough signal to elicit a perceptible contraction in muscle fibers. It is below the threshold required to cause an action potential and result in muscle contraction.
How can you tell a strong muscle from a weak muscle?
its in relation to its function and size different muscle have different strength you have to test it by contraction of the muscle you can tell weather if it is tight or weak
What is difference between strong and brave?
What is the difference between strong and brave
what is calcium healthy for?
Calcium is necessary for strong bones and teeth but also a key component in muscle contraction.
What structure is found in cardiac muscle tissue but not skeletal muscle tissue?
Intercalated discs are unique to cardiac muscle tissue, providing a strong connection between adjacent cells and allowing for coordinated contraction of the heart. Skeletal muscle tissue lacks intercalated discs since individual muscle fibers act independently.
What ion is essential for a muscle contraction to occur?
Calcium binding to actin-myosin causes contraction. The calcium is released to the sarcomere from a specialized storage organelle, the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Does muscle tissue contain contractile units made of collagen?
No, muscle tissue contains contractile units made of actin and myosin proteins, which are responsible for muscle contraction. Collagen is a structural protein found in connective tissues like tendons and ligaments, but it is not directly involved in muscle contraction.
What special feature of smooth muscle allows it to stretch without immediately resulting in a strong contraction?
stress-relaxation responsestress-relaxation response
