Summary Introduction

To draw:

A graph of the isometric force-length relationship of striated muscle, indicating where the maximal overlap between the actin and myosin filaments occurs.

The muscle fibers have the characteristic features, such as response to stimuli and excitability. The reflex of the response is given as contraction. The muscles partially contract and relax even in the resting state and this is called muscle tone.
