What maintains the tension in a muscle spindle?
The tension in a muscle spindle is maintained by intrafusal muscle fibers, which are specialized muscle fibers within the spindle that are innervated by sensory nerve fibers. These sensory fibers detect changes in muscle length and transmit signals to the central nervous system to regulate muscle tone and coordination.
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.
Which sensory receptor is sensitive to change in tension of a muscle?
proprioceptors
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 do you call the natural tension in the fibers of a muscle?
muscle tone

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.
Which sensory receptor is sensitive to change in tension of a muscle?
proprioceptors
What are bundles of muscle fibers?
myofibril
What happen when muscles shorten?
What happens when a muscle shortens is that it is contracting. This is when the fibers of the muscles generate tension.
An increase in muscle fibers is called?
smd

What is resting tension in a skeletal muscle called?
