What else can I help you with?
When does a muscle become shorter and thicker?
Muscle becomes shorter and thicker during contraction... so what?!!! (help me!!!)
How do your muscles work?
the nerves in our muscles gives a message and thats how muscles go thicker and shorter
What happens to the biceps when muscle contracts?
When a bicep contracts it pulls on tendons causing the arm to bend at the elbow.
When a muscle contracts how does actin and myosin get shorter?
When the muscle contracts, it gets shorter. When it relaxes, it gets longer.
What is it when a muscle becomes shorter and thicker?
When a muscle becomes shorter and thicker, it is called muscle hypertrophy. This occurs when the muscle fibers increase in size in response to repetitive, strenuous exercises like weightlifting.
What becomes thicker when you reach puberty?
A boys muscles and penis become thicker once he has begun puberty.
WHEN A MUSCLE CONTRACTS DOES IT BECOME SHORTER AND FATTER?
Yes, when a muscle contracts, it becomes shorter and thicker. This occurs because the muscle fibers, made up of actin and myosin filaments, slide past each other, causing the overall length of the muscle to decrease while increasing its girth. This process allows the muscle to generate force and perform movements.
What happens to the muscle when it contracts?
Since muscles cannot do work by "expanding", they are arranged in pairs, pulling in opposite directions. When one muscle of a pair contracts, the other relaxes. This generates movement in the desired direction.
What is the force that causes part of the to become shorter and thicker?
Compression
Does exercise make muscles thicker and stronger?
yes
What is the part of the eye that becomes thicker and thinner allowing us to see at varying distances?
The part of the eye that becomes thicker and thinner to allow us to see at varying distances is the lens. It changes shape through a process called accommodation, which helps focus light onto the retina for clear vision.
Does exercise make muscles thicker?
Yes, exercise, particularly strength training, can lead to thicker muscles. This occurs through a process called muscle hypertrophy, where muscle fibers increase in size in response to the stress of lifting weights or resistance training. Consistent exercise stimulates muscle growth by promoting protein synthesis and increasing the number of myofibrils in muscle cells. As a result, the overall muscle mass becomes denser and thicker.
