Question
Chapter 10.1, Problem 2WDYL
Summary Introduction
To compare:
The skeletal muscle, its characteristics of contractility, extensibility, and elasticity.
Introduction:
Skeletal muscle is commonly a muscle also called voluntary muscle. They are attached to bones by tendons. They help in the movement of all parts of the body. It is mainly present attached to the Skelton of the body but also found in areas like the urinary tract and gastrointestinal opening.

- Define responsiveness, conductivity, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity. State why each of these properties is necessary for muscle function.arrow_forwardIndicate which of the following are true. Chronically shortened muscles will lose sarcomeres in series in order to maintain ideal amounts of myofilament overlap. Contractile force is proportional to the length of a muscle. Muscle organ contraction is all or nothing. Muscle cells are surrounded by an endomysium. Actin is the thick filament and Z-lines are where the cross-bridges zig-zag to adjacent actin filaments. Muscles with fewer motor units are weaker, i.e., capable of less force. A nerve impulse, calcium, and ATP are necessary for muscle contraction. Tendons attach bones to bones and help to limit the range of motion at joints. Muscle tissue is very dynamic and will respond to chronic stress by becoming stronger (making more myofilaments), chronic contraction by becoming shorter (losing sarcomeres in series), and stretching by becoming longer (adding sarcomeres in series). Myofilaments are actually long strands of proteins.arrow_forwardList and describe the events that take place (and the structuresinvolved) between excitation of the skeletal muscle cellmembrane by an action potential and the initiation of cross-bridge action.arrow_forward
