the degree of muscle stretch is affect the strength or force of skeletal muscle contraction
The four factors that influence contractile force are the number of muscle fibers stimulated, the relative size of the fibers, the frequency of stimulation and the degree of muscle stretch. Factors that influence the velocity and duration of contraction are the muscle fiber type, load and recruitment.
concentric contraction is atype of muscle contraction which the muscle shortens while genrating aforce The muscle shortens to produce movement. A muscle contraction in which shortening occurs.
This is muscle flexion or isotonic 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.
Acetylcholine and norepinephrine both affect smooth muscle contraction. They stimulate contraction in some muscles and inhibits contraction in others.
By constant low-level asychronous stimulation producing minute contraction of random motor units.

Muscle fatigue is the main factor that inhibits muscle contraction. Muscles need oxygen and energy to contract and muscle fatigue is the lack of oxygen in a muscle. The build up of lactic acid is a factor of muscle fatigue.
The four factors that influence contractile force are the number of muscle fibers stimulated, the relative size of the fibers, the frequency of stimulation and the degree of muscle stretch. Factors that influence the velocity and duration of contraction are the muscle fiber type, load and recruitment.
constant contraction of a muscle is called the muscle tone
A drug that interferes with cross-bridge formation would prevent the myosin heads from binding to actin filaments, impairing the sliding filament mechanism essential for muscle contraction. This would result in a decrease in muscle force generation and overall muscle contraction efficiency.
Factors are, skeletal muscle contraction, breathing movements and vasoconstriction of veins.[venoconstriction].
norepinephrine. Acetylcholine mainly causes smooth muscle contraction, while norepinephrine can either cause contraction or relaxation depending on the type of receptor it binds to on the smooth muscle cell.
Increasing the stimulus to an isolated muscle increases the strength of a contraction. A muscle begins to contract when the stimulus is given; however, if the muscle does not finish contracting before the next stimulus hits, then the force of the contraction will increase to finish the contraction. This is known as wave summation.
