What are the major factors that determine the contraction of skeletal muscle? What is the role of Calcium. Identify the similarities and differences comparing skeletal muscle contraction and relaxation to cardiac muscle.
One of the primary characteristics of all muscle tissue is contractility, the ability to shorten (contract) and lengthen (relax). You've identified the various components of a myofibril above. Now, use the table below to indicate what occurs to each band, line, or zone when the muscle contracts vs. relaxes. What occurs to this region / structure during contraction/relaxation? Region / Structure A-Band H-Band I-Band M-Line Z-Line Zone of Overlap Sarcomere No change Shortens Lengthens Muscle Contraction Muscle Relaxation
Considering the Length-Tension Relationship of skeletal muscle fibers, over stretching a muscle fiber or not stretching a muscle fiber enough, results ina decrease in force developed (during contraction) because: 27.

An "over-stretched" muscle fiber or an "under-stretched" muscle fiber will not allow an optimum amount of contact and overlap for the contractile proteins. C. An "over-stretched" muscle fiber or an“under-stretched" muscle fiber will not allow the Action Potential to reach the troponin-activation channels. D.
