When a muscle fiber is stimulated at a high frequency?

When a muscle fiber is stimulated at a high frequency, it undergoes a sustained contraction known as tetanus. This occurs because the calcium ions within the muscle cell remain elevated, allowing for continuous cross-bridge cycling between actin and myosin filaments. Ultimately, this leads to prolonged muscle tension and force production.


Is water a source of fiber?

No. Fiber is obtained through consuming plants because what we call fiber is actually cellulose, found in the cell walls of plants.Hope I helped!-Sakura K.


How does muscle contraction occurs?

Muscle fiber generates tension through the action of actin and myosin cross-bridge cycling. While under tension, the muscle may lengthen, shorten, or remain the same. Although the term contraction implies shortening, when referring to the muscular system, it means muscle fibers generating tension with the help of motor neurons (the terms twitch tension, twitch force, and fiber contraction are also used).


What is Tension in plants?

Tension in plants refers to the force generated by water moving upwards from the roots to the leaves through the xylem vessels. This process, known as transpiration, creates a negative pressure that helps to pull water and nutrients up the plant. Tension is crucial for maintaining the plant's structure and enabling essential functions such as photosynthesis.


Do you lose control of bodily functions when you die?

Yes, when a person dies, they typically lose control of their bodily functions, including urination and defecation. This is due to the relaxation of muscles and release of tension that occurs during the process of death.

What is the direction of tension in string?

both directions opposite each other At any little fiber at any point in the string, if the forces in both directions were not equal, then that little fiber would be accelerated in the direction of the greater force.

Why is concrete in compression and weak under tension?

Concrete is strong in compression, as the aggregate efficiently carries the compression load. However, it is weak in tension as the cement holding the aggregate in place can crack, allowing the structure to fail. Reinforced concrete solves these problems by adding metal reinforcing bars, glass fiber, or plastic fiber to carry tensile loads
