What is the Name of the receptor for the stretch reflex?
The receptor for the stretch reflex is called the muscle spindle. Muscle spindles are sensory receptors located within the belly of muscles, and they detect changes in muscle length and the rate of that change. When a muscle is stretched, the muscle spindle initiates the stretch reflex, leading to a contraction of the muscle to resist the stretch. This reflex helps maintain posture and balance.
What it the name of the long cells that can stretch and contract in the body?
The name of the long cells that can stretch and contract in the body are called muscle fibers. These fibers make up our muscles and are responsible for movement and generating force in the body.
Which fibers in the skeletal muscle are stimulated only by the degree of stretch?
Muscle spindles are the fibers in skeletal muscles that are stimulated by the degree of stretch. These specialized sensory organs detect changes in muscle length and contribute to the stretch reflex, helping to maintain posture and control muscle contraction.
What factors affect muscle contraction?
the degree of muscle stretch is affect the strength or force of skeletal muscle contraction
The ability of smooth muscle to function over a wide range of lengths is called what?
The ability of smooth muscle to function over a wide range of lengths is called plasticity or length-tension relationship. This allows smooth muscle to contract effectively regardless of changes in its length or stretch.
Is a tear in an abdominal muscle called a hernia?
No, a tear in an abdominal muscle is called a muscle strain or muscle pull. A hernia is a separate condition where an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue.
Which of these terms means a stretch or tear ligaments?
A sprain is a stretch or tear of a ligament.
The ability of muscle tissue to stretch when pulled is called?
extensibility
When a muscle is suddenly stretched what is called to action?
Stretch Reflex

What is the correct definition of a strain?
An injury to either a muscle or the tissue that connects muscle to bone (called a tendon).
How does the muscle tear inside the body?
When muscle fibers are overstretched they tear.
What is A sharp pain in your shoulder called?
you have stretched a muscle or you don't stretch enough
What detects a muscle is under stretch and therefore initiates the inverse stretch flex?
the muscle spindle detects excessive stretch within the muscle , it response and makes the muscle contract
What muscle do you stretch when you do the flamingo stretch?
Quadrilateral
The protrusion of muscle substance through a tear is?
A herniation is the protrusion of muscle substance through a tear.
WHY IS BOUNCING DURING A STRETCH IS NOT RECOMMENDED?
Bouncing can tear muscle fibers
