The tearing of a ligament, the fibrous tissue connecting bone to bone, is called a sprain.
Related Information:
A strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon (the tendon connects muscle to bone).

Degrees
A sprain is generally detected by using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and is graded into four main degrees:
1. Minor tear or stretch of your ligament
2. A tear of your ligament that is often followed by pain or swelling
3. A complete rupture
4. The last degree is the most sever and actually breaks your ligament along with some of your bones and will require a surgery

What type of muscle fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.
What is the function of the muscle fibers?
muscle fibers contract the muscles when stimulated.
Does a nerve provided impulses for many muscle fibers or just few?
A nerve can stimulate impulses to several muscle fibers. When muscle fibers are grouped they form a single muscle group like the biceps.
What type of muscle fibers are found in higher proportion in weight lifters?
slow-twitch muscle fibers
What are long fibers called?
Muscle cells are called fibers.
What painful muscle condition can result if you use a muscle too much and tear muscle fibers?
A muscle strain can result from overuse of a muscle and tearing of muscle fibers.
Why should you not overtire your muscles?
Muscles should not be overworked because that can result in tearing of the muscles and muscle strain. It can also lead to other injuries like pulled muscles and sprains.

What is the word for muscular contraction involving muscle movement?
Isotonic contractions are the type that involve muscle movement. This movement is due to a change in length as the muscle fibers shorten or lengthen.
How does repeated exercise affect the amount of work that muscles can do?
When you exercise, you tear muscle fibers. Over time, these muscle fibers become thicker to prevent tearing. This is why your biceps bulge - it's actually just strands of muscle that have been torn through exercise and then grown back. Thicker muscles = more strength.
Why your muscle hurts if you do wights?
Your muscles hurt because you are actually tearing micro-fibers in your body. This in turn sets your body into recovery. The muscles will take nutrients from fat to create a stronger and bigger muscle.
What is the function of the muscle fibers?
muscle fibers contract the muscles when stimulated.
Smooth muscle fibers are the shortest of all muscle cell types?
No. Cardiac muscle fibers.
What type of muscle fibers used in strength training?
imcomplitory muscle fibers
What is muscle fibers?
Your cardiac muscle is your heart and this is a muscle and it holds itself together with its fibers. Hope that answers it for you :)
