What else can I help you with?
What are long fibers called?
Muscle cells are called fibers.
What is it called when white muscle fibers that contract quickly?
Fast-twitch muscle fibers.
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 are individual muscle cells called?
Individual muscle cells are called muscle fibers or myofibers. These elongated cells are specialized for contraction and come in three types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle fibers, each serving different functions in the body. Skeletal muscle fibers are responsible for voluntary movements, cardiac muscle fibers make up the heart, and smooth muscle fibers are found in the walls of hollow organs.
The combination of a neuron and the muscle fibers it associates with is called?
The combination of a neuron and the muscle fibers it associates with is called a motor unit. Motor units work together to produce movement by having the neuron stimulate the muscle fibers it innervates to contract.
What is an enlargement of existing muscle fibers?
hypertrophy
What are long fibers called?
Muscle cells are called fibers.
What is the theory of muscle growth where muscle fibers are able to split and create new fibers?
The theory of muscle growth that involves the splitting of muscle fibers is known as myofibrillar hypertrophy or fiber hyperplasia. This concept suggests that under certain conditions, such as intense resistance training, existing muscle fibers can split to form new fibers, contributing to overall muscle growth. While hypertrophy primarily results from the increase in the size of existing fibers, there is some debate within the scientific community regarding the extent to which hyperplasia occurs in humans. Most evidence supports that muscle growth primarily occurs through the enlargement of existing fibers rather than the significant formation of new fibers.
What is it called when white muscle fibers that contract quickly?
Fast-twitch muscle fibers.
What is a muscle cell called?
The scientific name for a muscle cell is a myocyte. Myocytes are also sometimes called muscle fibers. They are long, tube shaped, cells that develop from myoblasts.
What is muscle cell called?
fibers
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 are bundles of muscle fibers?
myofibril
What are individual muscle cells called?
Individual muscle cells are called muscle fibers or myofibers.

An increase in muscle fibers is called?
smd
What is the pathogenesis of cystic medial necrosis?
Cystic medial necrosis has no known cause. It is diagnoses by thickening of the muscle fibers in the aorta accompanied by the accumulation of mucopolysaccharide.
The combination of a neuron and the muscle fibers it associates with is called?
The combination of a neuron and the muscle fibers it associates with is called a motor unit. Motor units work together to produce movement by having the neuron stimulate the muscle fibers it innervates to contract.
