What else can I help you with?
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
When does the activation of a motor neuron occur in a stretch flex?
The activation of a motor neuron in a stretch reflex occurs when a muscle spindle detects a quick stretch in a muscle. This sensory information is relayed to the spinal cord, where it synapses with the motor neuron corresponding to the stretched muscle. The motor neuron is then activated, causing the muscle to contract and counteract the stretch, leading to the reflexive response. This process happens rapidly, often without conscious thought, to protect the muscle from excessive stretching.
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.
What happened if muscle cells are damaged?
You tear a muscle.
Are muscle's breakable?
Not breakable as such. But you can "tear" a muscle. And ruin the lining of the muscle.
